add more textiles to the space... rugs, pillows, upholstered furniture, drapery panels,

stretched fabric on canvas stretchers as artwork.

I might do something more interesting. Strings, ribbons, macrame. Lots of directions in which you can do. It might be easier to offer suggestions if we saw the space. For example, a friend with the same issue has a place where a quilt would make a big difference.

Open space, is open space, so you are always going to hear the sounds all around in a loft.

You can try to use sound deadening fabric, drapes and/or wall panels to try to stop some of the sound from bouncing around the space. Use stuff that is rated as a sound absorber and not just a regular screen divider.

The heavier the hanging curtains or soft panels, the more they will absorb sound. The lightweight panels above will do almost nothing to absorb sound. There are many good websites that explain options for sound absorption in an existing house.

Rugs, drapes and soft furnishings all absorb some noise this type of home design is always an issue with sound and heating and cooling . I guess the panels might do a bit of the work but what are they made of ?To me they look like blinds and as for sound control not going to offer much.

If appropriate for your home, draperies and rugs make sense.

The vet clinic where I work built a 2 story lobby with tile floors. There are smooth fabric covered acoustic panels, maybe 48”x48” on the walls about 8’ above floor level. The panels are very effective— sound does not reverberate. They are a similar color as walls so not very noticeable. Wish more restaurants used these.

My sister had the same issue as yours. She added glass panels like the ones shown by @BeverlyFLADeziner. Worked well and noise has been reduced significantly.
