You're right, there is no driveway. I guess technically it's only a garage in construction, there's no easy way to actually park cars in it (we have a 2 car garage attached to the house for that). I know the former owner used to work on motorcycles back there, not sure what else he used it for...

Yeah, I believe those doors are the main issue as well. If I could do something about them I feel the sound would be much quieter outside the garage. I was hoping there would be something I could do that would not involve getting rid of the doors permanently since they do come in handy...

As promised, I took some pictures of the garage this afternoon. I uploaded them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/83277412@N00/sets/72157621659054966/detail/ Thanks for the added comments BushmasterM4 and chugheshc. I did go and pick up a sound meter earlier. The band will be over tomorrow...

Thanks for the advice. I was hanging out in the garage the other day thinking about it, and noticed that the garage doors were not insulated. I figured that would be a great first step. I don't how much it will help with sound, but it seems relatively cheap and easy to do, so why not. The...

Thanks for the reply, I have some of the links you sent me bookmarked already and am slowly going through them, some of the others I haven't seen yet, but will surely read them. Maybe I phrased my post too generally (or maybe there just isn't a good answer). I do realize the best way of "sound...

Hey everyone, I am looking to treat my garage some so I'm not bothering the neighbors as much when my band is practicing. I've done lots of research and realize the the best solution would be to build a room inside the garage, and I may do that in the future, but it's not an immediate solution...
