Thanks for the tip. Yes stuff like waste material can be hard to come by. I'll have a think about it!

Yes I'm going to move forward with the 2x2x3 m frame but not aim for isolation. Rather just some cheap materials on the sides and some sort of floor so I can practice singing from home. It's also a self-concsciousness thing; not wanting people to hear your terrible noises. I've been looking into...

Not that loud but the neighbours will hear. I work from home so mid-afternoon with some room protection might be a way of moving forward.

No PA. It's really actually singing practice I need to do at home, and then off to the practice rooms to really belt it out. The problem at home is that the flat is quite echoey and not very well sealed. I will put up some materials to reduce the echo. I already have a 2x2x3 m frame and will put...

Hi so assuming I switch the piano for a synth, what would I be looking at to lower the voice sound? Same approach but different materials? Yes you're correct about my studies; I studied fundamental acoustics (complex numbers and so on) but only one class on practical room design. Rest of the...

that's a nice unit. presumably plugs into an amp with speakers / headphones

Yes it's a good point regarding the keyboard versus piano. I have been thinking about that. And then it is just the voice issue. The piano is rented so I could return it no problem and get a keyboard. Better for production as well. I hadn't thought about ventilation, but I guess this is...

Yes I see that even normal rockwooll at 10 euros a square metre would cost about 600 euros. I'm guessing acoustic is about double that, though I can't find any prices online. I will have to ponder it. My DIY store does pay in installments, so if they can get it for me I could pay over six...

Thanks - what material would you suggest for the insulation? I thought it might be possible to get a load of clothes and cut them up, but perhaps that is just wishful thinking.

Hi Forum, newbie here. I want to be able to play piano and sing from home, but live in an appartment. The neighbours are a bit fussy. I made a start on building a quiet room and am going to go back to it now that summer is over. I have quite a bit of space. I have started with a frame built...
