Btw, I don’t want to suggest that your projects will cost the same amount of money as mine. Only that they likely won’t be cheap. Every room starts with a different set of variables. My room in particular is fairly large, located upstairs and not on a concrete slab, and it has big windows and 4 doors. These factors add up. An ideal starting place would be a smaller room on a concrete slab with no windows and a single door. But of course you have to work with what you have and strategize accordingly.

I am building a home studio for an acoustic drum set here in Brazil. I specialize in architectural acoustics and am a professional carpenter. And let me tell you, it’s a huge challenge to isolate the low frequencies of an acoustic drum set. These low frequencies make everything vibrate, and the sound is transmitted through layers and layers of dense material. Only after working on many studios did I achieve good sound isolation results. Another detail: don’t leave even a needle-sized hole, or the sound will leak, and you won’t be able to figure out where it’s coming from.

Wow! Thank you for posting this. It reminds me of just how lucky I am. There are two factors of sound isolation I've found over the years that (with the exception of the room in a room) are most important, and they are distance and dirt. With my studio being in a basement built like a bunker of cement on all sides under a house on a two acre plot I have both of these things covered. All I had to do was ditch the windows and replace them with the same kind of cinder block the rest of the walls are made of (and I already had the block in the back yard) and I was set. Good luck to you in your continued search of isolation and ultimate studio enjoyment. BTW that whisper box sounds great!

Dude, drums were made for war (and music I guess). There ain't much out there that's gonna stop those sound waves in any modern home. I've found that the most practical place to play and keep an acoustic drum kit is in a basement. I remodeled a basement room, put down a floor, some acoustic treatment, and my recordings sounded way better. Did I get rid of the noise? Absolutely not. But, I accomplished my goal of making better music. If I ever have to move somewhere without a basement, God help me. With that being said, I'm glad you found a solution in the booth. I agree that there's nothing like playing an acoustic drum kit. Great video.

I, as every other drummer out there, have had the same problem. I’ve been drumming now in a garage lot at the back of a gas station for the past 9 years. It’s a huge parking lot for buses and trucks. There’s a bunch bands here too. It’s on a main road and pretty far away from houses. Over the past 9 years I’ve spent close to 7000€ to rent the place. A small booth for drummers would cost me around 11/13000€ here in Italy. So, put it in perspective and after 13 years it would be around 10000€ spent to rent this small garage (if the price remains the same). And I will keep on paying for as long as I stay there. I’d say, if you’re serious about playing the drums and want to do it for the rest of your life, Jeff’s solution of buying a used booth is probably the best and final solution to the issue.

Good perspective. Another is to think of a different serious hobby like golf (just to pick one of my own). Golfing costs roughly $60-80 a round. Playing 26 rounds a year (say 2x a week for 6 months of the year, if you're in the north) = $4100. In 5 years you've spent 20-25K. In 30+ years (thinking along the lines of the rest of your life) is 120K+ !! I think your perspective is good and comparing it to other labors of love/hobbies is helpful. As long as those whisper rooms can be moved and hold up well, I think it's a good choice. But the up front price is going to sting a bit! They should consider financing to buyers (but they probably need more volume to make that work). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I do wonder Jeff whether a lot of the sound proofing difficulties you experienced come from the way American houses are constructed to start with. The US does tend to favour timber construction. I've had some experience of DIY sound proofing, and before I say "Oh it can definitely be done cheaper", I'd say it definitely all depends on what you are starting out with in the first instance. I completed two projects in the UK. The first was a home cinema built from the ground up in my garden in a previous house. The floor was concrete on the ground, so no extra treatment required. The walls were only 100mm block, but concrete block as opposed to breeze block. The flat roof was a typical timber construction, boarded and felted. The door was a normal timber exterior door. The treatment inside the room was where it all came in to play. The walls had 50mm x 50mm battens screwed to them but with 6mm dense rubber pads between the wall and the battens at each fixing point, which gives the room in a room concept you talk about. Between the battens was filled with 50mm high density rockwool slabs. Then 2 x 12.5mm plasterboard added with the joints of each layer completely caulked. The second layer was applied so the joints in the boards were staggered to the 1st layer. The ceiling was filled with rockwool then plasterboarded and caulked, then a false ceiling added 125mm lower with metal rails and acoustic tiles. A second internal door I made and filled with rockwool slabs was fitted in line with the inner wall, with both doors caulked and rubber seals added all around each door. This method, whilst I won't claim to be 100% sound proof, does produce amazing results. I used to sit in that cinema at 3am with a 400 watt subwoofer making visible dust fall from the acoustic tiles, without bothering my neighbours. You'd have to stand with your ear against the door outside to hear any noise leakage. The inside of the room was further treated with acoustic panels like you done, but that is more for controlling the acoustics within the room. But like I say, your starting foundation will be the biggest factor in how well any sound proofing method will work. I now live in France in a big old house with 20" thick stone walls doing most of the work for me. Windows and doors are the only real source of sound leakage here for me to worry about, which are quite easily treated with secondary glazing which can be set a good 14" inside the original windows due to the nice thick walls. Again with proper sealing of the secondary glazed units, the massive air gap between will completely take care of any soundleakage. Again it all comes down to what you are starting out with. Different methods for different scenarios I guess 🙂
@ianwalton7893
5 ай бұрын
One thing to add, is not to be seduced by all the exotic dedicated 'sound proofing' products out there. Adding the words sound proofing to a product instantly hikes its price! These products may or may not improve the sound proofing by a barely noticeable amount, but off the shelf products work just as well when used and applied correctly. Thick standard plasterboard double layered and properly sealed will work just as well as specialist sound proofing plasterboard. And green glue does practically nothing! Decoupling and filling every little air gap is the secret to having any chance of success 🙂

I once worked in a school as security. The school was installing a new booth next to the front door. On the opposite side of the wall is the auditorium that is used all day as the music orchestra class. I asked the director of facilities if he was installing proper sound proof material on the inside of the wall. I also asked if he was treating the ceiling and the floor. I also recommended sound proof material around the outlets sharing a wall with auditorium. I told him my experience as a musician and experience with studios. He just belittled me. Guess who was right. I left that job soon after and now they can not find a permanent replacement. You dont just make thicker walls and floors and call it a day. You would have needed material like Rockwool Safe n Sound between the wall and mass loaded vinyl rubber before that. You could have also put that under the raised floor. I also would have put thick rubber under with the rug over that under the drums. I have that under my sub in my studio so the bass doesnt carry into and across the floor. The door should have been treated as well. That would have seriously helped.

In my opinion, the Whisper Rooms are overpriced by a lot. I think the largest is about 8x16 or something like that, and it's about $35k. I had a detached structure built on my property that is 14'x28'. There are two rooms (one a gym, one my drum studio). The larger room (my studio) is about 14x14. It has two layers of drywall on the walls and ceilings with green glue in between the layers, and the walls are decoupled from the studs using hat channels. This whole structure cost me about the same $35k. So I do think they are a little crazy with their prices, but $10k for the used one you found is awesome!

I'm doing a multi use space ( drums, cabs, mixing) in my basement while finishing the basement. My room is half the budget. I've got double 5/8 on both sides of walls, staggered studs, and a ceiling which is sonopan, res channel, 2 more layers of drywall. I don't expect it to truly be sound proof. Even with a solid core heavy door.. this is the nature of the beast where home studios are concerned. Too many nooks and crannies for vibration to slip up into the rafters. If you've got a drum room on main floor or top floor? Forget about it. My goal is to hear barely anything on the top floor, and to be able to watch tv or talk comfortably on main floor while the drums are in the background. That's good enough for me. If you are REALLY doing it right, it better be your primary source of income and worth it. But to your point yes, don't trust " contractors" to be the expert on the subject, you need to get in there and tell them what to do and how to do it. Electric kits suck. Went down that route and it wasn't going to cut it.

Ahh man, what a bummer! It's so expensive to sound proof, and I think people gets it mixed up with sound treatment. Very different things, very different approaches, very different costs.. My studio I built in 2019 is essentially a standalone house-in-house configuration for about $20k because I did almost all the labor myself, but in today's prices it would also have been $30k, and probably 40-50k if someone else did it for me. And I didn't even take it all the way, skipping a fully floating construction and going semi-floating instead, didn't go nuts with green glue, no springs in the floor, etc.. Sorry it didn't work out. The wall with the doors (both the wall itself as well as the doors) is definitely a MEGA culprit, but it'd probably require more than that to get it to an acceptable level. Drums, man!

i used vocal booth to go producers choice blankets on a 2x4 wood frame around my drums in the garage, doesnt bother anyone in the house or the neighbors and for my set up, its the cheapest best way to go for the average drummer. cost less than 1k and i can take it anywhere i go. I would prefer a set up like yours but for the average non professional drummer, you cant get better than vocal booth to go blankets.

more detail please "i used vocal booth to go producers choice..." what does that mean? What vocal booth? Where did you get it, what kind is it, how much is it, etc. You put a vocal booth on a 2x4 wood frame you built?

and this is why we pay a studio designer like John Brandt or Northward Acoustics.

10k for that enclosure is a pretty good deal. Lucky to find it for that amount.

If you don't do "room in a room" there isn't isolation. Everything else is "kind of" isolation or "a bit of isolation" or something like that.

What about ac in the booth? My garage here in Texas is an oven most of the year.

The booth has a ventilation system mounted to the outside that I hooked a portable AC unit up to. It stays nice and cool in there!

I am only five minutes in but I am Going to assume that this contractor did not put mass loaded vinyl everywhere.... He should have built the room out and then covered every wall floor and ceiling space with mass loaded vinyl before he finished out. I guarantee you would have better results.

It's soo sad bevause you lost all thhat money building that room and to find that it didn't worked as you've planned.. I also want to make a drumming room so I'll try my best ti put as much acoustic foam as needed and thick rockwool panels made by me to improve the acoustic of the room. The best thing about my room is that it's in the basement, I have really thick concrete walls, and the room is not ckose to our neighbours so it's a win. Maybe buying some drums silencer pads would be worth it? I know you don't get that original drums sound but maybe for longer practicing sessions would be ideal especially because of the loud sound of the drums.. I don't know about you but after a long practice session I get some headaches from that snare drum, and I also use double hearing protection, headphones plus cup headphones, but it still too loud😂

Contractors never know how to soundproof a space. They usually come up with ideas that sound like they work but I would say 99% of the time it doesn't. We've had to remove so many "soundproofed" spaces. Where clients already spent thousands and the results are negligible.

The cheapest way I found to soundproof a room to play drums is to take up guitar.

Its the floor, you really cant cheaply make a floor that is soundproof. You really gotta build your room on the ground floor. Thats why most people do it in their garage where they have concrete floors. ANd also, I have a friend who's a contractor, and he gave me the exact same price... as LEAST $30k to soundproof my garage... if absolutely nothing went wrong during the build.

I don't like the attitude towards your contractor. He told you exactly what would be best and that your budget wouldn't get there... you're acting like he left out information, but he didn't

jesus christ... asking just a few people that work in acoustic. no... just making a post on an acoustics forum would have saved you all the money. ACOUSTIC ISOLATION is ALWAYS done with ROOM within ROOM. Seriously 10 minutes on the internet could have saved you.
