I know using a headset helps, but you’re still talking, so…Do you adjust the mic settings to pick up even as you speak quieter, or…?

How do you check to ensure you’re still audible enough to those on the other end if you do that?

Also this isn’t a shared room situation, so that helps, but I want to be sure I’m not being too loud.

Thanks for any advice!

    but something as simple and cheap as paper egg cartons on your walls will greatly reduce how much sound gets through.

    Hadn’t come across this before, thanks!

    silly follow-up

    would keeping and rotating the eggs improve the sound dampening?

      Like the actual eggs? I would have to assume yes. That’s more material for sound to have to travel through.

        you should also crack them and smear them all over the wall for maximum effect.

        yeah, but you gave me an even better idea: fake eggs filled with even more dampening material! it would be eggstravagant!
