I was thinking about soundproofing a room in my basement. The room is approximately 11 ft x 20 feet with 8 foot ceilings. I was planning to put some sort of soundproofing channel on the ceiling and along the interior wall plus add some insulation inside the the joists while I’m renovating and leave the two exterior walls as is.
I figure there’s likely to be noise escaping along the exterior walls and HVAC. There’s HVAC running inside the ceiling and there’s a bulkhead in the corner that’s about 6 feet long and a couple of feet wide.
I don’t want to build the room inside the room as is generally advised. There’s also a closet at one end of the room with a double set of sliding glass doors and I don’t want to bother too much with that either. I guess I’m wondering if the soundproofing efforts on the ceiling and one wall are worth doing if I leave the closet as is. Maybe I could add some baffles inside the HVAC to help isolate them. I really just want to help keep the noise from entering the rest of the house. Realizing that it’s generally recommended as an all or nothing type endeavour I’m thinking that it’s likely not worth the bother but maybe there’s an approach I’ve missed.
If anyone has any experience, suggestions or advice in this regard that would be appreciated. Thanks.
