Hello again,
I'm building a home theater in my basement and would like some advice on sound proofing.
I share a concrete block wall with another resident. I would like to soundproof my room so that a very limited amount of sounds gets through the wall.
Here's the solution I was thinking:
-Install R13 Studwall insulation
-Install Audimute Peacemaker soundproof sheets over the studwall and insulation.
-Install QuietRock drywall
So essentially, sound would have to travel through the Quietrock, then the soundproof sheet, then insulation, then concrete block, and finally the other resident's stud wall.
My question is, what recommendations do you have in soundproofing the wall? Has anyone here done such a project? Anything that you would of done differently?
I've done some research and I would like to get as high STC rating as reasonable, maybe a rating of 60 if that's not too much.
I basically want to turn up my speakers up while watching a movie and not have neighbors complain. My home theater audio will be about $5000, so you can get a feel on what type of speakers/receiver/sub I'll be getting.
Thank you
