They act as giant dessicants , reducing moisture in the air and thus air density and we all know that sound travels sluggishly thru thick air.
This is incorrect. The sound speed in air is inversely proportional to the square root of air density and humid air is less dense than dry air (water molecules are lighter than air molecules), so sound is faster in humid air, if that’s what you meant by thick air.
NOOOO...you are dead wrong here .. everyone knows that the little globules of water in humid air refract and hinder sound molecules when they meet..you can hear it easily when your listening room is overtaken by early morning fog and the noise floor rises ...They act as giant dessicants , reducing moisture in the air and thus air density and we all know that sound travels sluggishly thru thick air.

You dont even need to have a listening room , go to the beach , hold a wet shell to your ear .."the sound of the sea" you hear is indeed these molecules clashing
I use a 17kw dehumidifier in my room and always have it turned on when the sound gets too sloshy..works a charm..even my wife who was in the kitchen at the other side of the house remarked on it.
I now have a dual purpose to my room.. we dry jerky in it ..I use the racks of dangling pieces of meat as diffusors...the blood dripping on the persian (cat and carpet) is an issue tho

Who is everyone? Too bad this hobby is rife with alternative science.

Yup, yup... the good 'ol jerky tweak... beef by it's self is good, but a mix of beef and turkey sounds amazing.
As for the salt lamp, I have not moved mine yet but will, who knows? It turns out they really don't produce negative ions (see link below), and they won't solve the myriads of health problems they are claimed to alleviate... at least we can't explain it with what we know now, which usually turns out to be not a lot. We do know placebo works, so if people benefit then great.

So for speed it goes: dry cold < wet cold < dry hot < wet hot.
Cold and dry means slow and high attenuation. Hot and moist means fast and low attenuation.
that sounds remarkably like my sex life.....
Under Pressure: Loudspeakers at AltitudeSo, do these lamps change the density of air. Have we determined at what air density change it becomes audible?

Davey, I think you'll find we have little idea why we like what we like.
