Anyone here have experience with this sort of thing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLjhrXFo0Kw instead of 2 layers of drywall. use mdf for the first (inner) layer - much higher density. resiliant channel or accoustic glue are both good. Isolating the second wall from both floor and ceiling helps. Mount the wall to the floor using a "dri-core"base - doen't hurt to use it between the top sill and the ceiling joists above either. The difference between rock-wool and fiberglass IS significant. The two important things are MASS and ISOLATION. - and of course isolation includes ELIMINATING gaps. As far as the heat ducts are concerned just insulate well around them and make use of "baffling" - don't have as traight run from one room to another make sure the sound needs to go around a few corners and make sure to "damp" any flat sided ducts. to absorb as much sound vibration as possible. A large thin rectangular duct can act as an AMPLIFIER of sound by re-reflecting it. Damped, the sound does not bounce. Even installing a second stud system of 2X2 or 2X3 staggered between the 2X4 studs fastened to the same sills, spaced out 1/2 inch so the drywall is fastened to different studs on each side makes a big difference without taking up as much space. - and using accoustic cement to fasten the drywall instead of screws or nails also helps decouple the sound. If the joists run between the 2 spaces instead of parallel as shown in the video, install baffles between the joists - tight fitting MDF or plywood covered with a foam-board works good - even just 2 inch foam board is a lot better than nothing - seal the joints between the baffle and the joists with spray foam or a good relilant caulk. For the ceiling, building a second framework, attached to the studs of the INNER wall and not to the joists above is also a good idea. a few hanger wires mid-span attached to the joists above don't degradethings very much if required to prevent ceiling sag. The ceiling "joists"only need to support the drywall and any insulation - and can be "staggered" between the existing joists to reduce the loss of room height.. If using a complete second wall system the second ceiling framing can be connectes only to the inner wall, and the inner wall can be completely "decoupled" from the ceiling. That's how a friend's home recording studio was done. - with the floor sitting on 2 inch "styrofoam SM) , and the walls built on top of that, withthe ceiling attached to the inner walls only, and the gap filled with blown rock-wool. A bomb could go off in the next room and you wouldn't hear it (double doors too,of course) |

Anyone here have experience with this sort of thing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLjhrXFo0Kw Many years back, we added onto our two story frame house to build a home office that I used for a professional practice. The contractor built about an eight inch dead space between the new office and the existing house then filled it with rock-wool- floor to ceiling. Works great! -- Results of a poll taken by the California Governor's office asking whetherÂ* people who live in California think illegal immigration is a serious problem: Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* 29%Â*Â* of respondents answered:Â* "Yes, it is a serious problem." Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* 71%Â*Â* of respondents answered:Â* "No es una problema seriosa." |
