Isolation, Parents and Neighbours
How do you guys deal with your neighbours or parents if you are still living with them? I didn't hear anything from my neighbours yet but I don't know if I disturb them or not with my music. I normally listen to my music in less than 8 o'clock on the pre.
But I have lots of problems with my parents because of the volume for 6 years now. I am thinking to cover two walls of my room with some isolation material, one wall for my parents, one for the neighbour. Did you all do isolation to your listening rooms? If so, what material is cheap and useful? I don't need 100% isolation like a recording studio, but enough to keep my parents calm : ) You get the idea. Any recommendations are welcome.
Well, good luck to you then.
Just two things to keep in mind.
1) Reread my first sentence in my initial reply to you. How do you think insulating two walls will cure this? (hint... think "floors")
2) Studios are more concerned with keeping externaly generated sounds out as opposed to keeping internally generated sounds in.
Frustrating as it may seem, having a stereo and wanting to "play it as loud as you want" sometimes requires on maintain a residence physically apart from others. Common walls/floors has caused problems with this hobby from day one, particularly since subwoofers have become commonplace.
Again, good luck.
