Had a chat with someone about sound isolation which is very difficult to achieve especially within the home. I found an article online looking for the best way to go about trying to achieve this. It would be good to get the views here on planetz to see how possible it actually is.
From what I read a double stud wall 2 X 4 is the preferred option with depth or space between the two stud walls to help isolate the low frequencies - I'm no construction expert but its obvious some knowledge is needed on this to form the best opinions and as usual some potentially stupid questions may arise as a result......
- The 2 X 4 part of the description is in feet is it? - 2 feet X 4 feet?
Regarding the space between the double stud wall - What would be a significant or meaningful distance so as to help achieve sound isolation?-
In the little room I've got at the moment a double stud wouldn't be possible as too much of the useable room space would be lost so a single or staggered stud would be the only realistic solution which may affect the final results of isolation or lack of it from outside the room. I realise this is a complicated subject with many variables and problems to overcome from start of project to finish of project but I seek to further my knowledge on this so please bear this in mind.

This is an article I came across on the subject which may help you to elaborate on the above post - Thanks.
Eventually I may end up with a room small or not so small for the home studio to use without upsetting neighbours etc....if the best solutions can be understood and found within a certain budget of course.
