That's not what you want for acoustics...
You're thinking of sound dampening.
Like acoustics make things sound good, it's honestly really complicated and hard to get right.
Having shit everywhere prevents noise from bouncing off things.
The confusion is probably because recording booths are sound dampened. That's not to make the record sound better, it's to isolate everything else so that the mix can be clean and prevent echos.
A good echo is literally what people stereotypically look for to gauge the acoustics of a space.
I guess it partly depends on what all is being hoarded. If by chance it's piles of clothing, then I guess it would double as pretty decent sound dampening.
But if it's a bunch of glass and/or metal stuff, well yeah that wouldn't work very well at all would it?
yeah, but if it's hoarders - it's EVERYTHING.
Trust me on this. We've tried to intervention some relatives repeatedly, their house is a terrifying example of fire hazards X man-trap stacks of:
I can't even begin to fucking deal with this shit from across the country, and their relations in-town have so far failed to get through to them.
I'd say the acoustics would be pretty fucking bad.
