Barry,

Although Styrofoam is widely used as weather insulation it is not a very
effective sound proffer. I can't quote you dB reduction figures for
Styrofoam at this time but I can tell you that it is a poor sound absorber
and sound barrier compared to other soundproofing materials. Fiberglass,
especially rigid board fiberglass, sound matte products, and several other
sound conditioning products (spray and paint on) will provide far better
results than Styrofoam.

In addition to my DeLorean knowledge I spent much of my carrier as a TV
Studio Design and Operations Consultant. Application of sound
proofing techniques, material application, and installation procedures were
part of my contracted services.
