I'd like to add that hanging curtains on the walls, carpets on the floor,
also putting carpet on the walls works well, leave your coats on the
backs of your chairs during rehearsal, the packing foam that is textured will
help.  I have run into the problem with fire inspectors though if you make
it look like it is permanently installed. 
Good luck.

	Trond,

	It would help if you were to hang up some curtains along the
walls, nail some egg cartons to the roof, and carpet the floor.  That
would eat up some of the sound.  These things can be done very cheaply.
Give that a try.  Of course there are many companies out there, such as
the Wenger Corp., who would be more than willing to assist with your
concerns, but you'll pay top dollar for their assistance.  Good luck,
