Good idea, but high risk.

I never thought of lead as absorbing sound waves, but it absorbs other

waves
quite well. I might look into acquiring a used X-ray apron. I'll bet

that
deadens sound and a torn up one could be had for cheap with a little
searching. Thanks for the input.


High risk? The lead is not in contact with water, nor is it in a form that
will give you any grief from breathing in the area where installed.

Google lead soundproofing for details. The sheet lead would be a whole lot
easier than the lead apron and probably a whole lot easier to obtain and
use.
