There needs to be more information about the space. Adding a layer of sheet rock does nothing to improve acoustics inside the space, but could possibly reduce sound transmission to the outside, but only by a dB or so, and only if the walls are done as well. What is most important is minimizing the parrallel surfaces, and alternating densities of the building materials. Having a narrow room with parrallel brick walls would contribute to flutter echo, and in the case of my last church, cause a chorusing effect, detuning the piano. Having a sheetrock ceiling and a tile floor would not be desirable, but carpet and padded chairs would be better. We need more info. If you need some leads for acoustical engineers or contractors, let me know. Brent
