I've got a bedroom that does not have a cold air return. It's the one
that is furthest from the furnace, over the garage and exposed on
three sides. There is a cold air return return on the other side of
the wall it shares with the hallway. But before I cut a hole and put
up a vent, I'd like to know what would be the best way to keep sound
from the bedroom from going to the hallway and vice-versa. Should I
intall the vent at a different height, build a vertical barrier
between the two vents or what? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What did your HVAC technician advise you to do?

Yeah, you might want to try the invisible sound board, look for it at home
depot, next to the sky hooks and plaid paint.

I haven't involved an HVAC technician as of yet.
