I've read on message boards that absolute soundproofing is
very difficult and expensive, so it's more reasonable to expect sound
reduction.

I was guessing that Michael was making this distinction, although,
technically, "sound absorbtion" would be required for either
sound reduction or complete soundproofing.

I'd appreciate an explanation on what he meant also.

You mention acoustical foam and acoustical fiberglass. These materials

difference and this should be part of your research!

Good luck.

What is the difference between the two?
