Haha. I rarely angry in real life. I never had a room that's too deafeningly silent. That would be awesome if I can make it. I'm half psycho anyway

First, some comments here are not right.
Acoustic treatment and soundproofing are completely 2 separate matters.

Acoustic treatment - makes the room sound better. In general, treatments such as wall panels, soft surfaces and bass traps.

Sound Proofing - isolating the sound source and avoid it leaking out of the enclosed area. In general, isolation to avoid vibrations travelling out of the room, such as building a suspended room inside a room.

no offence, but they are right in general.

sound proofing is subset of acoustic treatment.

Not gonna argue with you but I would stick to my statement. Engineering approach when you identify these 2 issues are different.
Sound proofing is not a subset of acoustic treatment as sound proofing has got to do with vibration isolation whereas acoustic treatment deals with the vibrations response within the room. In your argument I believe you meant by having particular frequencies absorbed, it reduces the energy leakage outside, which is partly true but does not mean sound proofing is a subset of acoustic treatment.

By saying soundproofing is a subset of acoustic treatment, it means you can draw a Venn diagram with Acoustic Treatment and its subset is soundproofing (which in fact you cant).

is all what matters to me. no need to be so serious. cheers.

For me living in bedroom full of egg-cartons will mentally block my creativity

lol not egg box, egg box works similar as acoustic foam, its only reduce wave bouncing , if wan do some sound proof u need 3-5 layers of walls at lease or double layer of glass with vacuum treat between, acoustic treatment and soundproof alot different.
acoustic treatment (sticking egg box / acoustic foam ) only wil make ur room sounds better , and easier for recording , doesn't help much with sound proof.
