So I moved into a new place and convinced the landlord to let me knock down a wall that separated the pantry from one of the bedrooms. This worked great in expanding the smallest bedroom into a very nice space. Unfortunately, St. Cecelia was not impressed and now there is a ridiculous echo that originates from right near where the wall used to be. I'm looking into noise reducing panels etc, but I thought I'd ask on here to see if anyone had any good ideas.

The room measures ~9.5 x 14 and the ceilings are ~10-11'. The wall I removed ran 9.5' about 2/3 of the way between the front and rear wall of the expanded room. I'm not sure that it would matter at all (though my suspicion is that it might) but the ceiling in the old pantry part of the room is ~1" or so higher than the ceiling in the old bedroom part of the room, such that there is a noticeable lip running across the ceiling there.

If anyone with bright ideas thinks it would help I can attach pictures/drawings.

Thanks in advance.
