How much sound proofing do I need?
Posted: Thu Jul 30, 2020 5:57 pm
Hello everyone,
I'm in the process of purchasing a block of land .5 Ha. My partner and I will be building our home there and I would like to build a backyard shed/studio where I can play drums/guitar and a bit of recording, in the hobby sense, at anytime I want. While not disturbing the neighbours or my partner. I'd also like to achieve this for under 15k AUD . Roughly 10k USD.
My first question is, with no building/construction experience, is this a goal I can achieve? Or should I end my quest right here and now?
If this goal isn't unrealistic, my next question is how much sound proofing will I need? As I'm on acreage, will I still need to go to the full length of adding mass and building a room within a room?
Would a simple staggered stud and insulation design provide satisfactory sound reduction/proofing ?
Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks guys.
