Can someone give me suggestions on noise reduction

12' celings in my house and when it's crowded when we have people over (Especially with kids running around) it sucks arse.
Loud and give me headaches.
I have stained concrete in the kitchen living room so I know that doesn't help.
Just wondering if there was something I can buy that would quiet it down some.

Are you trying to sleep or just reduce the noise. Other than acoustical tile or a sound machine ( if sleeping) I'm not sure of what to suggest.

Just reduce the noise.
Echoes bad

Rugs, curtains, furniture and more rugs. This is why I dislike stained concrete.

Pictures of the room?
I would suggest some live indoor plants. Ask the local nusery and maybe try some hanging plants. That's if you're into that sort of thing, if not use fake ones.
However.....
Earplugs and ibuprofen

I'm starting to agree.
Is it more the floors or tall ceilings?
I really like the look of the floors but I'm not sure I can stand this rest of my life.

Anything you place in the room will help reduce echo.
Pictures, nick-knacks, rugs, drapes, furniture, etc.
The more fabric, (rather than wood/metal), the better.
I wish the owners/designers of Canes would recognize this problem.

You need to have a ratio of more nonliving things to less living things.

It's both, but mostly the floors. My neighbor thought he was so smart putting in concrete, but their backs hurt and their house is very loud too. We have 12 ft ceilings and hardwood and ours was noisy at first. So I got bigger rugs and more furniture. Also rearranged furniture. No more echoing.

The more furniture and decor you put it the better. And you get that no matter if its concrete floors or wood.

Area rugs should help.

Anything you put on the walls and floors will break up the sound waves. Tapestries and area rugs will diminish the echo.
You can try hanging just some fabric (even blankets) in different places to test the muting from different placements.

Stained concrete fad has already pretty much died out
