awesome idea, may be I can hose in the air with an air compressor and that should help overcome air flow issues too.

nah, I will just reverse the vacuum cleaner, air compressor's too expensive and that's better utilization rate for the vacuum cleaner too.

hung flat against an exterior walll just to block out noise

Plain brilliance at work!

Just a thought: when I say "flat" against a wall, I don't literally mean the curtains should lay flat. Leave an inch or so from the wall if you can and let them have folds, like normal curtains. It can look very elegant. I just bought solid color sheets (no patterns).

Good luck.

right, moreover the folds can give additional sound damping too. and I wouldn't have to spend that princely amount on those noise canceling headphones.

you are an angel.

Do you think that 1 inch space in between the curtains and the wall can provide some extra thermal insulation too? and save me a bit more money on the aircon expenses?
