In this episode, Betsy Helmuth addresses the challenges of noise pollution in NYC apartments and other big city living spaces. She explores the benefits of acoustic panels and the effectiveness of noise-reducing curtains. Betsy also discusses sound absorption techniques using rugs and sealing gaps, along with furniture placement strategies to minimize noise intrusion.

Key Points
