Hey everyone, posting a new update for anyone curious.

Attached in the imgur link is basically the room right above the reading nook area.

THE PLOT THICKENS.

Fingers crossed hopefully vibration pads help, although the contractor swore that under the tile flooring theres already isolator pads but hey..no harm in trying pads regardless. Worst case scenario, if the pads don't work, theyre still a good thing to always have under machines on the roof.

Hey y'all, I have a nook section in my living room that causes instant ear pressure changes and would appreciate any input.

couldn't embed photos so heres the imgur album!

Made sure to label and detail stuff clearly!

As you can see I set up a reading/lounging nook in that area.

Every time I step into this exact zone, I instantly feel a distinct ear pressure change. Kinda reminds me of being in an airplane cabin.

It is not painful, just annoying and I really don't want that corner to end up completely dead because of it. Last thing you want is to keep moving your jaws each time you read.

Once I step out, few minutes and im back to normal.

the walls are gypsum/drywall with sound insulation stuffing. Gypsum false ceiling with central AC.

Doesnt matter if the rooms dead quiet, or if the tv is blasting. Once youre in that zone, it hits ya.
