Soundproofing

[Joost Schuttelaar]

Yo Guys!

Right now I’m in the middle of the big renovation of the new (old) house. A room at the top will be the music studio. About 28m2. See attached picture (it’s next to the balcony).

The walls to the neighbours on the left & right are basically two sideways bricks, without any air in between. Say about 20 CM thick. So it would be a good idea to soundproof this room a bit, so the neighbours won’t get too bothered by loud sounds made in the studio…

I’m thinking of a simple intervention, basically placing rockwool on both the left & right side, with plasterboard in front. Should I decouple it from the wall, and if so, how?

Acoustically I might place some foam acoustic panels on top of the plaster boards, but my main goal is to reduce noise for the neighbours.

Thoughts? :)
