Do you guys remember textured ceilings? They were the "it" thing in the 80s and early 90s. Some were called popcorn ceilings, some looked like they were made by fanning out a trowel in damp plaster, and some were very complicated to make. Anyway, I read in This Old House magazine that textured ceilings lead to better room acoustics. How true is that? How much of a difference are we talking about here?

Surely the difference is negligible at best. I know they use textures in opera houses and other music arenas, but those are made out of special materials, like foam and other paneling.

Hi, Our house has them....I don't know if they matter much...but anything is better than bare sheet rock.

Good Listening
