    I guess it partly depends on what all is being hoarded. If by chance it’s piles of clothing, then I guess it would double as pretty decent sound dampening.

    But if it’s a bunch of glass and/or metal stuff, well yeah that wouldn’t work very well at all would it?

      yeah, but if it’s hoarders - it’s EVERYTHING.

      Trust me on this. We’ve tried to intervention some relatives repeatedly, their house is a terrifying example of fire hazards X man-trap stacks of:

      • national geographics 1910-2007
      • rare glassware
      • collectable books
      • TINS! Tin signs, tin trays, tin toys, tins with sewing shit and tins which held sewing shit in the triassic
      • radium! ?!?!?!??!?!? specifically clocks that are known to have been painted with radium that no longer glow, but apparently the glow - came from the overpaint, and the radium is still chugging. no shit.
      • newspapers, specifically, about easily tens of thousands of the dallas morning news 1990-1998 (!?)
      • multiple stacks of other newspapers (old stuff) one of them paid to purchase.
      • multiple layers of unopened ebay and amazon orders in the fucking boxes
      • CREEPY FUCKING DOLLS A ROOM ENTIRELY FUCKING FULL OF CREEPY PORCELAIN FUCKING DOLLS I swear, their eyes just swiveled to look in my direction from 12 states away…

      I can’t even begin to fucking deal with this shit from across the country, and their relations in-town have so far failed to get through to them.

      I’d say the acoustics would be pretty fucking bad.
