Hey Guys,
I am planning on a Project Studio build in an 18 x 19 Ft basement. Three walls are solid concrete and the last wall has an open staircase going upstairs to my home.
The ceilings are exposed joists with builders grade R-19 insulation.
My plan for the ceiling is to stuff Safe N Sound noise isolation insulation in between the floor joists then sheetrock with resilient channel. I would also like to build a wall across the open staircase with the same insulation, resilient channels and sheetrock.
The dilema is what do I do to the solid concrete walls. Do I just frame out walls against the concrete, use basic R-value insulation and sheetrock or should I use resilient channels on the studs for the concrete walls also?
I am not concerned with any sound escaping or coming in through solid concrete, that is underground but the concern is bass frequencies traveling up those walls.
Any suggestions to anything I mentioned would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Danny
