When we renovated and,in some cases, created rooms we built walls 6 inches thick but with 2x4 studs and threaded bat insulation between. Basically a waste of space and money. By chance we had a sound engineer as a guest and his suggestion was to add sheet rock until you achieved an acceptable result! Hardly hi tech but an improvement. I am reminded of a classic Indian (south Indian) fable about a maharaja who stubbed his toe while walking in his extensive gardens and,in a furor called his court and demanded that his extensive gardens be immediately carpeted. Following cries of despair one lowly garden boy agreed to do it. The ruler accepted the offer but warned of the consequences of failure. The next dayhe was preented with his first pair of slippers! So endeth the lesson. Each co housenik could prented with a pair of ear plugs! More better might be a three side simple insulated shed built around the head of the bed not directly attached but separated with a sheet of rigid foam.Ingram Shaker Mill Inn -----Original Message----- From: Cohousing-L [mailto:cohousing-l-bounces+shakermillinn=taconic.net [at] cohousing.org] On Behalf Of R Philip Dowds Sent: Saturday, March 07, 2015 11:48 AM To: Cohousing-L Subject: Re: [C-L]_ Sound Class Transmission Rating I agree with Sharon. Retrofitting for better acoustics is somewhere between very expensive and impossible.
