Living rooms are the loudest, most frequently trafficked areas in our homes. You probably placed your new PS4 there because that is where the best television in the house is. Unless you live alone, you’ll find that there are a lot of distractions when you’re trying to play. Someone might be cooking a meal or playing a game on their tablet in the same area.
