Soundproof home recording studio remodel in Austin Tx
This remodeling project is one of many that we have done in this Austin Tx home. We did 2 bathroom remodeling projects in this Austin TX home. The homeowner hired us to create a soundproof recording studio in the house. We have had much experience soundproofing music rooms in peoples homes as well as constructing professional recording studios. The best method for creating a soundproof room in a home is to build a room within a room.
The idea is that we don’t want the sonic vibrations to transfer through from one material to another. We installed double walls and the floor has also been decoupled. The framing for the floor was built on U channeling that won’t let the low end frequencies travel through the slab. In the second picture you can see how we installed resilient channeling on the walls. This channeling also helps act as a shock absorber to further help in suppressing sound transfer through the walls.
As a part of this recording studio remodeling project in Austin tx, the homeowner wanted to be able to look into the room through a soundproof window. We fabricated a custom window with 2 separate panes of glass. One panel is 1/2 inch and the other is 1/4 inch. Each panel is resting on separate walls that you can see pictured above. We installed the panels at a slight tilt so as to dissipate the sound. The center mahogany panel is free floating on a foam rubber channel. Staining it English Chestnut matched the rest of the remodeling we have done in the home.
The Mahogany wall has 2 separate thicknesses and widths of wood in a diagonal square within square pattern. The flooring is Anderson Glue down. To deaden the room we installed Auralux foam panels in custom mahogany frames to match the rest of the trim. This was a fun and interesting project. The homeowners liked this soundproof room very much.
