Hi all,
I have a question i regards to how to treat my drum room to make it sound better inside, and quieter outside.
Here is the deal:
I live in a rental house and therefore am unable to build anything permanent.
The room has solid double brick walls on all sides and a door and window.
I have put a seal around the door and built a window plug from acoustic foam and MDF. The kit is on a home built platform that isolates the vibrations through the floor. (1.8m x1.8m)
The noise outside is not too bad, but just enough to be on my mind and disrupting my practice, and in other rooms of the house it is a bit louder.
Basically i'm wondering if building some sort of enclosure or at least baffles around the kit will help reduce the noise outside. Ie. would it have to be a complete room to cut back some of the sound, or would baffles say, 1.5 metres high around the kit do something.
I have recently purchased a load of flat acoustic foam and was thinking of building walls/ an enclosure out of pine and MDF.
Can anyone put me on the right track here? I've read loads of forums and websites and they have been great, but don't exactly help with my situation. Or i'm just not getting it???? Either way, any advice would be appreciated.
And the other thing is that i need it to sound ok too
Thanks
Matt
