The wall behind me in my office is about 10 feet across and about 12 feet high. The top part of it consists of a window panel that is about 10 feet across x 4 feet high. There doesn't seem to be any insulation in the wall and it doesn't block the sound very well (well, almost not at all) coming from the other side. The construction of the wall appears to be drywall over some kind of aluminum or light metal beams. I can't gauge the thickness, but my side wall is about three inches thick.
Anyway, the problem is that the guy who sits in the office on the other side is extremely noisy! He whistles constantly. I've asked him repeatedly (very nicely) to please keep it down but he's basically told me that his whistling is involuntary - so in other words - buzz off!
My question is - is there anything that can be done accoustically to remedy this situation? I was thinking about tacking up some of that egg-crate foam material like the stuff used in recording studios. Maybe that would help?
Thanks!
