I'm agreeing with Don... those things, while fairly thick, are
also fairly lightweight. Not enough density to make that much
of a difference across the board with regard to bandwidth.
If you're looking for a solution that you can hang or drape,
then theater curtains (usually these are VERY heavy) work well,
IMO... I did some production work at a PBS tv station some
years ago & they used these for studio partitions, so I can
personally attest to their effectiveness. Only problem is,
they're so thick & heavy you have to have a very well-
reinforced hanging system. Also, while they're very expensive
to have made, if you can find someone who does want to get rid
of a set, you can often get them for next to nothing,
because if a theater or a school has replaced theirs, the old
ones are usually just sitting around collecting dust.
Check the TV stations in your area that have a newscast or
other large studio area... it was a very common old-school
method of partitioning one portion of the set from another,
before many stations went to the "open newsroom" on-air format
that's much more prevalent these days.
However, if you ARE just looking to cut down on some
reflections, flutter echos, etc., from walls & whatnot, IMO a
much more attractive alternative to the moving blankets would be
something like this (go to this site & look for "wallhangings"
under "Products"):

Now, those guys are wholesale-only online, but if you see
something you like, I can go to their retail outlet here & buy
it for you & have it shipped. A few of these things on your
walls will look a helluva lot better than moving blankets.
