Oh, btw Crim, I use Autocad. I was a draftsman/detailer for a storefixture company for a long time.
 
much thanks man. i will have to start sending drawings, but it wont likely be before dec 15 (last day of class); i am a social work major. i have work to do on my internship project and stuff. plus husbandhood, and fatherhood, and feeling good... you know. sunday is my first year anniversary!

anyway, good thoughts. i was already thinking double door, however my thoughts were taking me to a different seal design that wouldnt require a door jam (although I think i found some good ones on line if I need to go that way). My idea would essentially seal lining each sides of the doorway, coming out past the edges maybe 3/4s of an inch and the door would press into it. Or each door would press into them.

Spaulding, I will keep your address and hit you with the final plans once they are done, dont hold your breath though :D he he he. but really, I will. Ill try to keep you all up dated.

I am moving between dec 1 and the 21st , but I will still be on line. moving accross town to my new basement ... I mean house. lol

Take Good With You,
Crim

I do not work for them, but they build them for hearing tests and accoustic isolation.

Hope that helps.

Put a band or loud monitors on the outside, and see what you hear INSIDE!! :rolleyes: They are NOT designed for transmission Loss of HIGH SPL sources. Figure it out. You go inside, and put a pair of headphones on your head, and feed sounds to you that you can BARELY hear. Now, go inside and play a sax. Ha! Or sing, while a bass player is outside of it. I think you might get the picture.

So POP has a whole 'nother meaning to you right? Not just a plosive. :D
 
Total Acoustic Isolation

Rick is right. There is no such thing as Total Acoustic Isolation. You could only Attenuate the sound in certain frequencies and the hardest of all are the low frequencies. That is probably why he used the bass guitar example. The website I linked explains that. But haven't I been through a hearing test booth that my ears ring cause I could hardly hear anything? How'd they do that?

Easy, there was no noise outside the booth, except maybe a computer in the office? Remember, these booths are a "room within a room" to an extent. And the room that surrounds them is usually very quiet in the first place. These types of booths are employed, as well as headphones, to make sure ambient noise in that room doesn't mask extremely low level sounds that are produced in the headphones. If a set of drums were played in the office, I'm positive you would hear them, even with headphones on. Why do you think they call them.....WHISPERBOOTHS :D
 
how much do you est this costing? and you gotta think how think the walls are goin to be if you want the interior 6.5 feet tall the out side is going to be about 7 or 7.5.
