Re: [TCLUG:14213] Sound Proofing

Hmmmm,

I didn't see the start of this thread. Are you building a sound studio?

Actually, sound proofing foams are very expensive and often
ineffective. If they aren't expensive they're probably a bogus
product. I'm trying to recall the product number for an owens corning
insulation that's exactly what you want. Call the insulation dealers in
town and ask for acoustic insulation, tell them you're building a sound
studio.  You'll also want accoustice stripping, it's 3/4 inch
wide and comes in 8 foot lengths. It seperates wall material from
frames. We're talking construction grade materials. The insulation is
expensive but the stripping is cheap.

On migration and the use of stripping; put the coffee bean grinder on the
counter and turn it on, now pick it up and hold it in your hand while it's
turned on.

Bascially, to kill sound leak and migration you've got to float rooms
inside of rooms. Build the exterior box and size it to fit an interior
box. Run all vents to exterior of building.

If you want, feel free to e-mail me directly. I'll send my phone
# back at you and give you a more complete description of the
principles and practicle solutions as I understand them via voice
communications. :) My partners and I have been in the recording studio
business for about 15 years. Our studio is in the basement of the
house. Sound containment is a no-brainer, don't contain sound=get butt
kicked.
