I'll second that.
Soundproofing a room is nigh on impossible in a normal domestic
situation, particularly in modern builds as sound seems t travel
through walls as if they were not there at times. Particularly if you
listen to a movie at the kind of volumes I want :->

Oh crust! You are taking on one of the most difficult projects there is
... soundproofing is almost impossible unless you can design a room from
the ground up to be soundproof in the first place.
I'm happy to discuss what knowledge I have of this but it is a huge (and
I mean huge) project in itself and the only thing I can tell you with
any degree of certainty is that you won't manage it half as well as you
would expect! This isn't to cast any bad vibes on your abilities but is
just more an indication on how ocscenely difficult soundproofing is...
...redefine the problem as sound deadening, tell the missus that you'll
d the best you can to make it quieter, pull my info of Mark's website
and give me a call.

Subject: [ukha_d] AV Room
Wey Hey! it looks as though I will be able t convert our Den int a
bigger room for AV use. I know several of you have dedicated AV rooms,
what materials did you use for c nstruction, I have bedrooms above so
noise insulation is important. Are there any design criteria as to
ceiling height to floor area, should I have heavy curtains at the back
to stop reflections?
Any advice would be appreciated as I am at the design stage now.
