Acoustic Cabin, DIY

Hello,

I'm thinking of building an acoustic cabin, designed to work as a "small show room" for the PVC doors and windows that my company works with. I'll be using just a PVC door with triple insulated glass as entry, so the rest will be made of solid material, It will measure and somehow look like a telephone cabin *but with glass only in one side:


I really need to be able to forklift it and carry around expos, probably concede as a "cellphone room" on certain events, so I'm thinking about 4 massive rubber stands on the corners, they'll also help to isolate vibrations from the ground.
Now, about the walls, do you think that using 2 nylon (or similar) sheets of 1' sandwiched with sound dampening foam would be enough for the walls, or would you suggest another material? It would end up like a dense rubber room inside a dense rubber room, with acoustic foam in the middle..

If I build this you bet I'll post pictures and the results :)

Things like foam is not going to stop all that much if any sound. It takes thick mass (think concrete) to do this.

Agree, but remember that this foam will be sandwiched between 2 thick nylon walls..
Seem pretty solid, and dense:
