Hi all,
I know I'm not much on this part of the bbs, but I don't have many knowledge about acoustics and isolation. So that's why I need some quick advice on maybe a few stupid questions.
The deal is, I have a band practice planned this wednesday, but it isn't in our normal rehearsel space, because it isn't available. My parents are away on holidays and it's ok for them to use their house as rehearsel space. But although all the houses in the street are seperated, it is a residential area over there with lots of neighbours nearby, some of them with kids, and we play really loud (the faulth of our drummer, who drums like a real John Bonham
)!. So I'm trying to ease the pain for the neighbours.
I have two possibilities at my parents house:
a: we rehearse in the garage
b: I make some place in the living room and we rehearse there.
the disadvantages of a: There's practically nothing in the garage, and all the walls are paralell so dreadful noise. When the garage is closed you just go deaf, and with the garage open we give kind of a concert to the whole neighbourhood. We did it that way last time and there were people who lived a mile further who had even heared us. Not good for neighbourhood peace...
But now my questions after this long story. Suppose I go for the living room option (which will give less hassle to the neighbours: the living room is at the back of the house and there are less neighboors at the backide of our house, and there is also more furniture and curtains and so one in the room), can I actually break stuff?
question 1: Does lots of noise like such a band rehearsel cause defects in other electronic equipment, like the TV and hifi? Maybe a stupid question, but I don't want to take any risks with material that isn't mine.
Question 2: there are several cupboards in the room containing glasses (my dad has tons of special beer glasses), plates and so on... Is it a risk while playing loud music in the room that they will actually break, or is the resonance rule in practic not very likely?
I know, not that hi tech sudio design questions, but those who have the time and knowledge could really help me...
thx!!
Brett
