Re: Soundproofing a room

Author: fskelley

I live in a townhome community and have considered this question myself. My office / practice room shares a wall with a next door bathroom of a unit rented short term (week to week) to families visiting Orlando, and is not always occupied. And visitors are often absent during the day (yay Disney!). But I've had friendly chats with visitors who say they do hear me, not sure nice folks would tell me if they were bothered. So I never go past about 7:30 PM. I wish I had an easy way to tell whether anyone is home next door.

Anyway, I have always thought a "vocal booth" (look on that auction site) would be a good start. Anything good at filtering out external sound has to be equally good at filtering internal to the outside. And they can be had for not too much $$$. Inconvenience is another matter (no matter what you do). Has anyone worked with these?

I will say, though, that there would be great power in knowing I could play any time of day or night without any chance of bothering anyone. Almost certainly I would play more- unless every time I played I had a cumbersome setup/teardown to do.
