I'm in the planning stages for my Garage studio. One wall will be facing the exterior wall of the garage which is stucco,wood frame, is insulated with standard home fiberglass, with drywall on the inside wall, a second wall faces the thin aluminum garage door, third wall faces the house, which is drywall on two sides, fiberglass in between with wood frame, and the fourth wall is the open area of the garage, with about 15 feet to the other garage wall that will remain open.
So, Do I need 2 - 4 different types of walls? I'm mostly concerned with noise getting out. I want to be able to record drums / guitars and not bug the neighbors.
Finally the ceiling. Above the garage, there is an empty attic with a sloped roofline with 1' to 4' clearance, then a plywood floor, then fiberglass insulation, then drywall. the studio will be below all of that.
I looked at all of the studios at Johns site, but everyone else seems to have a more uniform wall set up than this.
I'm kind of at a loss on how far I should go to ensure I get a sufficient level of soundproofing all around.
BTW, the outside noise that will be coming in is fairly minimal, it's a residential neighborhood where the loudest things are occasional barking dogs and passing local cars.
Thanks for any advice you can give. When I start construction, I plan on taking a lot of pictures so I can share the project with every one!
