  This is an idea, dunno how plausible, since I think it's Rowling's 
intent to keep Sirius's mum alive and up on that wall as a reminder 
of how, oh... obsessive people can be in the W.W. about blood purity, 
even when it comes down to their own sons and daughters. 

  Still, it would be nice for her to come up with a better way of 
shutting the portrait up than just curtains. So, Ms. Rowling, may I 
duly suggest, should Dumbledore be unable to detach the Permanent 
Sticking Charm:

  Enclosing the potrait in a wooden cupboard with a door, latching 
the door from the outside, and putting an impeturbable charm upon it. 
If I remember correctly, this would prevent sound from coming in, or 
out. And they'd like to keep her wailing in. Depends on whether 
Rowling's wishes override those of the characters, I guess.
