Question: Effective soundproofing for my basement!?
Well, they've built a couple houses right next door to me and I've already had people come over asking about the noises from my basement so I need to know the most effective way to create a total sound barrier!. It should be able to cover up the sound of at least three people screaming at the top of their lungs, a jackhammer operating, a plethora of power tools operating simultaneously, and an electric guitar!.

If you wish a perfect sound proofing!.!.!.!. have a 1ft x ft baton frame fixed on the wall!. Fill up the squares with Glass wool (if you want real fire proofing) or with baggasse or straw (if fire proofing is no big deal)!. So as the starw or glas wool does not spread, put them in polythene bags and paste onto walls!. then take 1 ft x ft insulation tiles and staple them or paste them onto the baton frame you have created earlier!.
This will give you a 100% sound=proof, absolutely professionally acoustically corrected basement!. You can even do professional recording here!.
Yes just forgot, the same treatment for the ceiling too!.

I had a friend who operated a radio station from his shed!. He used styrene egg cartons nailed to his walls over insulation!. Cheap and he let anyones' egg cartons in!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My friend put carpet all over his walls!. Another friend got heaps of pillows and mattresses and put 'em up against the walls!. I think they both worked!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
