...how did you do it?
Here's my situation:
I will be moving into a condo soon and want to take my kit with me. The apartments are set up like town homes, but are all connected together. My unit is on the end of the building. Also, there are no units above mine, they are all one floor.
I have read many threads on "sound proofing" and have figured out nothing is quite sound proof unless you build a room inside a room. The room I want to put my drums is 14'x14' roughly and closer to the outside wall of the unit, not the wall closest to my neighbors.
I was wondering what kind of products those of you who have done soothing like this used. Did you get a contractor to help or did you do it yourself?
I have read about putting a sound barrier product between the existing drywall, then putting another layer of drywall over it, would something like this work?
Any idea on what kind of budget I would be looking at?
I plan to talk to a contractor about this, but wanted to get some input on here first.
