But heavy. There's very little substitute for mass (or a vacuum) if you want really good sound insulation.
I remember a senior manager in a company I worked for (for many years) who was infamous for his verbal outbursts. So much so that his office was eventually lead-lined. 
Nonetheless he was actually a nice guy (tough but fair) and very well-respected, though sadly no longer with us. I remember randomly bumping into him a few years ago on a tube journey and he remembered me immediately and we had a good chat about old times. He died a couple of years after that - he was "larger than life" in so many ways with health to match!
