We tried the egg crate solution in one of our labs. The room was
rectangular with tile floors and student noise (high school) made it
impossible to think in that room. The egg crates worked until our
insurance inspector spotted them and made us take them down. Seems as if
paper egg cartons in a laboratory setting makes for a nice fire...... Oh
well, we went back to the noise.
