Egg cartons don't do Jack I'm afraid...
 
...it's one of those urban myths.
 
Egg cartons do soak up a percentage of *reflections* of sound above about 12kHz but do nothing t stop sound escaping.

From what I have seen of sound proof test chambers, keep all those old egg cartons and stick them t the walls. :o)

Wey Hey! it looks as though I will be able to convert our Den int a bigger room for AV use. I know several of you have dedicated AV rooms, what materials did you use for construction, I have bedrooms above so noise insulation  is important. Are there any design criteria as to ceiling height to floor area, should I have heavy curtains at the back to stop reflections?
 
Any advice would be appreciated as I am at the design stage now.
