Are Japanese-style paper screens OK at noise reduction?

We're moving house, and our new place will have a study area upstairs for DH, but it will be open to the stairs/room below. I was thinking about getting a room screen to give him a bit of privacy while he works, and want something that will absorb a bit of the children's noise.

Do paper screens do this, or would we need something more substantial?

they won't (we have one)
if you are a little handy you can build a screen with carpet samples or foam covered in fabric.

I am not at all handy. Grin
