Most here in the U.S. I'll bet remember the ubiquitous commercials of the first decade of our millennium where a certain spokesperson boasted of the reliability/coverage of a phone network, using this catch phrase. Eventually his contract ran out, he went to do commercials for a competitor, and the public got to realize that many mobile phone plans tend to share a communications infrastructure where boasting about superior reception became more hype than substance.
And yet, I'll bet you can guess it has nothing to with why I write, in fact the opposite: where not hearing me is the goal.
Over the past few weeks, as posted here, I've investigated mostly home grown ways of reducing the sound levels of my practice, with I admit, less than lackluster results. My layperson's research finds that the best results come from the use of different materials (as no one material excels at all forms of sound reduction,) the creation of spaces between these materials that thwart sound transfer, and the incorporation of good old fashion solid walls of substantial weight.
The goal is to have a plan in place to permit my at home practicing, while respecting the rights of neighbors more likely to hear my unfiltered play as I transition from my current stand alone house living to a more townhouse/ apartment paradigm.
I find myself left with two options. The first is to build something once the layout of future living spaces are known, my knowledge of doing so pretty good, if not the shape of my knees. And the second far more expensive route is to purchase a kit, like a Whisperoom.
Does anyone own, or know someone who owns such a soundproof space that can speak to the pros and cons of either them in general, or a particular brand of same?
TIA
