I hated those sound shields. As a trumpet player I was always hearing the sound bounce back from various points in the hall during rehearsals, it gives you an idea as to how loud to play during fortissimo passages. When the hall was filled with people during concerts, you would have an idea as to how hard to really play, the filled hall would be a lot less "live" but the sound would still carry over the top of a full orchestra playing fortissimo. With the sound shields in place, I had to play that much louder to hear any sound "bounce back", which sort of defeated the purpose of those sound shields, unfortunately.
I have had my share of dirty looks from string players, sorry...
