I want to soundproof my single brick skin garage for an office / drum practice room and wanted some advice.
I have read up on some of the basic ideas etc and I was wondering what ways there were of improving my current simple plan?
2"x2" or 3"x2" studwork fixed to the ceiling joists and not the outside wall and returned to meet the double glazed patio door.
Stud would have an air gap between itself and the brick outer wall of 1", 2"? I am not sure on this yet.
Acoustic quilt / rockwool or similar between the studs
Superquilt insulation taped around the whole room and sealed to prevent any draughts etc and 1" timber screwed onto this before the plasterboard to provide a service gap for electrics etc
Then 2 layers of overlapping soundchecked plasterboard.
Obviously I can not do a great deal with the door and I will get some sound leaking out through it but it does face down my garden straight into a wood if that is any help?
I am unsure of what to do with the ceiling yet as it is a cambered joist and plywood construction which is very pleasing to look at and that has a turf roof on top of it so I was thinking of seeing how the rest of the room sounded before doing anything to it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
