it is true, if im trying to whatch tv and people are making a lot of noise behind me this helps to attenuate them whilst makin the tv clearer.
the bad thing about this method is that it is changing your perception of the sound - which may have a negative effect on your mix, also this will do nothing for reflections at the front of the room, more likely to enhance them.
I have put false walls up in my studio and i have built the boxes in the walls for my speakers, out side the box (inside the wall) has been padded with 2 layers of 100mm thick (4inches) of flexi rockwool.
This prevents the phantom image that are caused by reflections from near walls.
The walls are angled so that as the sond hits them from the speaker they are directed to the back of the room.
The back of the room has a bookcase, sofa, and any exposed wall at the back i am making diffusion boards mad from solid wood.
Bookshelves, sofas, and just about anything with uneven surfaces and edges is good for diffusion.
