Soundproofing idea's

[Old Mill Tree Care]

There are two ways to approach it or a combination of the two.

 

 

 

One is containment where you you would use something like soundproof plasterboard mounted on resilient bars. You need to pay attention to details like door seals and ways sound can leak out. The other is absorption. As I mentioned in the first post R60 rockwool with a mesh cover like this Wire Mesh Fabrications | Acoustic Perforated Mesh

 

 

 

 

 

That R60 Rockwool sounds like the right stuff.

 

Clad your neighbour's house in it then they won't hear your power tools,

or loud music!

Basically what woodworks said...... resilient bars, rockwool, heavy rubber matting etc. If you are worried about dust get some heavy cotton cloth to cover the batts rather than mesh. Just to ask how is your man cave constructed? This will have a bearing on how to approach the problem. There are many different ways to skin this cat!! Btw. I run a music rehearsal space with residential accommodation above it and we run practices past midnight more or less every day, they didn't even know we had opened until I told them 2 months later!! Seriously though, please go into some details of your man cave and a potential budget ( can sound proof virtually any space to any degree but can cost a small fortune!) and I will do my best to suggest a solution. Windows and doors are a good place to start!

A cheap solution is straw bales for the walls
