Thoughts on Sound Proofing a Media Room?

[guitarist155]

when hanging the sheet rock use resilient channel to hang the sheet rock also before installing the sheet rock use a sound barrier it is a kind of fabric that is used like a vapor barrier, you would fill the wall with insulation (rock wool) then put up the barrier, you then attach the resilient channel and then hang the sheet rock on the resilient channel. if possible use two layers of sheet rock.

now about the air system, what you do is build boxes that the air lines for the room go into, inside you build walls that are half the width of the box and alternate sides like a maze then cover the inside with sound proofing foam, when the air flows through the box it will hit the walls and the sound will be absorbed and not make it through.

here is a good link to some stuff you can do. http://www.audioholics.com/education...-noise-control you will not be able to do everything as it can get quite expensive and complex. it can go as for as floating and isolating all floors walls and ceilings, not having any parallel walls, having an airlock sliding door system, filling the floor studs with sand, and staggering the wall studs.

i did design and research for a studio i was going to build and found you can isolate as far as money will go
