This is a good suggestion. Acoustic panels can be made really cheaply and simply. Here's a couple of examples.
Old towels in a timber frame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pABvTWSxOes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pABvTWSxOes

I like the first video because he does a bit of minimal testing with a tone generator. I'd be interested to see more testing, using more realistic frequencies, in a room.
