Or, in your example, take a High-Gloss room, and put in some drapes, or other wall baffles. Then take another room, same dimensions, and painted in High-Gloss. Now simply paint it Flat.
The room with the baffles, or drapes will have less echo, than the flat paint room without treatments.
Paint is paint. It's not a sound treatment. Whatever minor, marginal difference between Flat/High-Gloss can be easily lost with other simple changes (adding furniture, window treatments, carpet, etc).
Another way would be to examine 2 cars. Does a car painted in high-gloss auto paint drive any faster than that of the same car painted in primer? Doubtful. And yet the High-gloss paint is "less" wind resistant because its a glossy finish.
There are many variables that can affect sound. Your chosen paint finish is somewhere near the bottom.
I totally agree with Groundbeef's points. In the original post, it was never my contention that the type of paint used in your listening space would provided anything but minor differences. My main objective was to rebut Sir T's misinformation regarding coatings having to be a minimum thickness (3-4" thick) to affect sound quality. This would be true if we were talking about sound absorption, but sound reflection is another matter entirely. Carpet, drapes, furniture, etc...will all have a much greater effect on sound quality than paint.

There is a product available called AVM to address vibration.
Not sure if I like the name "Anti Vibration Magic" .
And yes it just looks like blue face paint.
Is it magic? Or does it do what is says it will do?
Short answer is your system will change. Less vibration on the parts and energy being used to amplify that energy is now available in other areas.
Used it.....still use it.
