In one small room with two windows, I use blackout curtains with one more panel than needed and long enough to touch the floor. That helps soften quite a bit.
In another small room with one window, I use bamboo/woven wood (with sticks, woven grass, and full but thin shoots) with a room darkening shade behind it. Seems to diffuse a bit. With both down, it makes a big difference.
There are probably much better audiophile-approved methods, but these help and passed WAF, even though I have a waiver in these rooms.
Edit---those "soundproof" curtains are probably much better. Good luck!
