RE: Soundproofing a room (in reply to Munin)

in order to soundproof a room successfully, you need 1. mass 2. decoupling 3. more mass so basically you need two walls, not touching, with air in between. the thicker and denser the walls, the better. as you can see, not an easy task. it probably won't be perfect but you can try buying panels of sound insulation (there's two brands that i know of, homasote and soundstop, check your local home improvement store. they're not too expensive.) hang them on your wall with a space of 2+ inches between the panels and your wall. you can use some rubber like material as a spacer between the panels and the wall to get that 2+ inches. and you will probably want to cover them with some breathable fabric so it'll look nice and you won't have to worry about any airborn particles coming off of them. if you were thinking of using that egg crate foam stuff, it will not work for this application so don't even bother with it.
