It's so frustrating the way physics kicks in when we try things in the real world.

I've had some success with panels of OC503 in burlap, arrayed behind the mic to attenuate off-axis reflections, but I doubt this would do anything useful for ambient noise. For vocals the panels need to be up in the air a bit, there are a couple of vendors who offer mounting systems and panels for vocalists.

Here's a writeup with a link to a video that demonstrates the effect of two panels on an acoustic guitar recording in a small room. http://www.homebrewedmusic.com/2011/...oadband-panels

Ethan Winer's Realtraps version: http://www.realtraps.com/p_pvb.htm

GIK Acoustics offers various solutions: http://www.gikacoustics.com/products.html

I would stress that these are useful for localized reflection control, not for reducing ambient noise impact.
