quiet walls

i am looking to open a small studio in a shopping center. what do i have to do to keep the sound from bothering the other tenants? also does anyone know a website where i can price the needed equipment? (U.S. currency preferred) thanks

Hey yankee, welcome to the board - I'm on my way out of here at the moment but you can get a good headstart by checking out the "stickies" at the top of the construction forum; specifically the one called "complete section" - I'll check back tomorrow and see how you're doing... Steve
