"The computer technician, Tammy, was excellent. He arrived on time and was very personable. Our computer is several years old and has been running slow, so he cleaned it up for us. He tried to show us how to perform some maintenance tasks on our own. After he was finished, he had to call in to the main Geek Choice number to settle the bill. When I spoke with the person on the phone from Geek Choice, I was astonished when they told me the bill was for $300, which included 2.5 hours service at $100 per hour and a $50 fee for home visit. I informed her that I had ordered the first hour through Angie's List for $75 and that the home visit fee was waived. She retrieved my information and charged me a balance of $135, to include the reduced hourly fee of $90 per hour. So Angie's List saved me almost $100, which I totally appreciate. I give the technician high marks but the company, Geek Choice, seems like just another corporation trying to make more money off the consumer than they should. I'm glad I went through Angie's List. "
"Anthony showed up on time prepared to take my existing system down and replace it with my new media cabinet with a faux fireplace. Very professional pleasant and knowledgeable. They did a great job. He came back the next day with a new TV and installed it beautifully. No wires mounted on the wall. Also installed my existing TV on the wall in the bedroom. I will definitely refer to AVA for any future audio video needs."

Identifying the source of noises is your first step to soundproofing a room without overspending. Generally, sound comes from inside or outside of the house. Inside noises include creaking floors, living noises like TVs in the living room, cooking sounds, or kids being kids. External noises generally include incremental weather, disturbing neighbors, and street traffic. Inside noises require you to soundproof floors, ceilings, and doors, whereas outside noises may require you to soundproof your attic, windows, and walls facing the streets.
