Sound proofing panels and other equipment - What is the best out there right now
Thank you for the post folkfreak, I have the width and length to do room in a room, but height is definitely an issue that may make it impractical. We can rebuild interior walls, but the ceiling and floor are fixed. I am going to have to get an accurate dimension. Even 6" in that dimension is huge one way or the other. At some level the ASC system is room within a room (the floor especially), but the method doesn't matter, just the results. At least on the walls it would seriously impede the dimensions. I am going to contact them Monday and see if they can put some numbers around db suppression. folkfreak, what is your feeling in terms of suppression? I may have an idea for the door. I was looking at used/surplus vault doors. |
Regarding suppression -- my system delivered close to 100% to the next door neighbors (this was in a row house constructed with an air gap between the two houses) but was still audible to the corridor adjacent and to the room above -- primarily bass leakage, and certainly not at a "disturbing" level but the other resident knew music was playing and could identify the track if it was one they were familiar with. Basically think of it as taking 90+ dB in room down to normal what you would consider acceptable leakage for a person with a TV in the room next to you playing faintly. I guess this goes some way to saying that in a residential setup with adjacent rooms its very hard to get to 100%, which is why my new build is a garden room 60' away! |
@atdavid I just sent you a PM about the ASC isodamp system but I see you can access the file here -- it'll give you or your contractor a good sense of what is involved https://www.acousticsciences.com/sites/walldamp/files/Product-PDFs/IsoWall-Install-Guide_0.pdf |
