Zanon, I know exactly what you are saying. Actually, the tonal pressure is not common anywhere, mostly because few people understand it, but also because one needs to develop and maintain broad spectrum pressure in the room, not just the LF farts, and not just noise, and this takes a lot of work, since there is no plug-and-play solution nor even an "industry" model for this. It can be pretty tough to do it in a large space or a soft space, all right, and it is about impossible in a large soft space without taking fairly drastic measures.
In trying to cope with these problems, I have messed with "anti-damping treatments" with some success. Basically, you use hard surfacces, possibly including heavy "screens" to deflect the sound, and you get as much of the over-stuffed stuff out of the area as you can. Also, not everyone will do it, but there are structurally acceptable ways to put tile on raised floors, and area rugs over tile are not the problem that carpet over padding is in these situations. Hard to guess about WAF, but there should be tasteful solutions if the will and the aesthetic are joined in the enterprise.
Or, for any number of reasons you might be a candidate for the Synergy horn, or the like. I've not heard one, but what I have read makes me very curious for someone else to buy one.
