Acoustic deadening at home

[kg648]

My listening space is too lively, it fails my clap test!

I'm in a rental, so I'm keen to ensure whatever I get is re-use, which also rules out sticking huge screws in walls. The space isn't huge and has a bay window at the side which assume is part of the problem. The listening area also has a staircase open at the back which will not help matters.

I have tried the GIK survey however they want me to spend 5k and fill my small space with lots of panels.

I've lots of soft furnishings including thick curtains, however the walls are empty.

Any suggestions for a quick fix?

Some really nice headphones.

Ha. I’ve got some sehn 800hds not a headphone to be honest.

Get lots of dirty used matresses and place them on all walls ceilings and floors. Saw it in a movie once.

Are you trying to make my house look like a murder scene

I was gonna say blow in acoustic insulation and triple glazed windows but since it's not your home, only option is those expensive and ugly panels you hang on the wall and ceiling

Are any of those expensive ugly panels adhesive / hang by nail?
