How about the reverse Spinal Tap method? Have your amp tech remove the numbers 1-10 from the volume knobs of everyone's amp and replace them with 1-5. That way the band will only be half as loud! hehehehe

Bill, tgo

Bill; another good method might be removing the electrical outlets. Apparently rehearsal spaces with no electrical outlets are a lot quieter than those that do have such devices. It may have something to do with the little holes in the plates.

Or, this looks promising.

This isn't new, it's been around since at least the 60's. The chief of CONTROL had one in his office. It was often used to insure privacy when very important secret discussions were held with Agent 86, Maxwell Smart. Who can forget The Cone of Silence! lol

Bill, tgo
