Wouldn't it be cheaper to just post a "quiet, please?" sign?
Or "sshhhhh... babies are working in the office next door" ?
Or "approaching No Shriek zone" then "end No Shriek zone"

Oh, heck yeah, I'd forgotten.
Cincinnati's Coney Island had a ride for a short while that was completely tunneled from start to finish. It wasn't very popular and didn't last all that long.
