Honestly, I get wanting to dig into wiring and all that, but sometimes it really is just the filter or even something as silly as the thermostat batte...
I get where you’re coming from, but I’m not convinced acoustics are the main culprit in these situations. Sure, sound bounces around in tile-heavy bat...
