I've used sound absorbing drapes for a decade to attenuate the music coming from my audio room.
They do well with high frequencies. But anything below about 300Hz or so is only slightly attenuated, if at all.
When listen I to music coming from my audio room from outside the room, I hear what sounds like a subwoofer. This effect gets more and more bassier as I move away from the drapes.
Fiberglas traps made properly, such as the ones from Real Traps will do a far better job with frequencies down to 100Hz, below that, corner traps definitely help but still don't fully tame room resonances.
M conclusion is that sound absorbing drapes make great room dividers.
