I procrastinate. I have my movie theatre in the attic. I've been using that for almost a year. I don't have to put it loud for it to be loud in the room. You can hear it down the two flights of stairs, yet miraculously when you step away from the stairs, the sound can't be heard.
I still want to soundproof part of the basement for a studio. I keep running into problems. But, I think I have them figured out. The washer and dryer are in a 10' x 10' corner. It's under the front door. So, the one wall is the front door. One wall is the foyer of the neighbor, and the third wall is to our garage. The only real thing that would need to be built is a doorway. There's a spot for it, it just needs to be built.
The problem throughout the basement is the wiring, tubing and crap going throughout the ceiling. I want to use the Rockwool Safe and Sound, but don't know how to put it up over the multitude of shit up there now. Here are some photos.






Looking at these photos. Can anyone possibly explain how to put the rockwool in? There are numerous problems - the wiring and pipes are the biggest. The tubing I think you just cut out the rockwool to fit over and under it. But, I'm not absolutely sure. Rockwool has never responded to any of my questions. The last photo is the only wall I need to rockwool. That's the stairway. The doorway would go in the opening. Yes, all the laundry detergent and stuff will be moved. It shouldn't cost much to soundproof this space, if I can soundproof the ceiling.
I put a little boom box on. It was on 4 out of 10. I could hear the music when I stood in our foyer. But, there's only a piece of pressed wood separating the floors. TH's are made of crap.
Thanks in advance.
