questions about building a practice room
Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2003 1:51 pm
Hi
Me and my band were going to build a practice room in the back yard of one of our houses. I have a basic plan (see below). We need it to be near sound proof so the neighbors don’t complain. They will be about 25ft from the structure. My questions are-
1) How much sheet rock should go on each wall and ceiling to make an effective sound barer for my situation?
2) Will a concrete floor be good floor to not transmit sound?
3) For good acoustics how should I make ceiling? How high? Flat or V shaped or angled?
If you see any problems with my basic design let me know. We can get help constructing it from the bassist father how is retied from construction. So he be able to make should make shure we are constructing it right. We will build the structure from scratch and it will not be touching the house. Any help will me greatly appreciated.
Thanks
