Hi folks,
I am a new member and I am looking forward to reading all the threads and discussions etc.
I am in the process of building a new studio in my home, I am not going to be moving any rafters or doing structural work to anything, so effectively my studio space is going to be 1 long triangle. I am sure this is not ideal, so, with that in mind, how can I make it (A) as sound proof as possible, as my neighbours were able to hear the joiner as clear as day on his mobile phone while he was laying the new floor down in the attic & (B) how do I also make it sound as well as it can accousticlly for me when producing my music.
I need it soundproof as much as possible so my neighbour isn't annoyed, it's a must, I also want it to sound as good as it can. Should I use ply board to create walls on the rafters but back them with a pocket of air and then a layer of rock wool behind the ply on the outside area of the studio space, and should I then use acoustic foam to completely cover the inner part of the walls (again, it will be staying in the triangular shape). I will not be making the attic studio shorter, I will be using the entire length.
For context my house is a newly bought new build but of a standard layout (slightly larger in size than the average council or housing executive House, 3 bedroom, living room and kitchen style house. I hope for information that is sure to help, not a guess, folks. I can't afford to fund guess work lol.
