Games are loud especially with speech and music turned up, but even with the sound off the electro-mechanical noise is high.

My games are adjacent to the family room and luckily there is a door between them and the people in the family room.

When the grand-kids play, my wife immediately shuts the door and that's enough to make it acceptable.

Without enclosing the machines with a floor to ceiling "barrier" they will most likely always be too loud to play and hold a conversation simultaneously.

If you want to keep the piece, this is probably your best option...a wall with glass. At least you can see your machines.

Remember, if you wall them off to make sure you have the size of the area correct, or you will later be pissed off when you are 2 inches short to add another machine or other item.

The doors between the games and the family room at my place are french doors with 10 panes of glass in each. They knock down the noise substantially when closed.

Robert

If you want to wall them off, then put a 3 foot or so wall in and put 3 feet of glass on top of the wall and then wall on top of the glass to the ceiling.

The glass will then be minimized, while still allowing the games to be shown off and seen.

A room needs to have a door, and unfortunately where there is a door, there can be no machine or other stuff. That's sort of the downside of having a room, other than the cost and non-adjustability of the size at a later date.

If you are worried about sound passing thru the glass, put in a series of double pane windows like these:

If you are serious about reducing sound pollution, a room is really the only option. All the other solutions have 2nd or 3rd order order affects.

Move the pins to the playroom temporarily and then you will have an idea of what a room does to the attenuation of the noise.
