Beste option v.s. box-in-box
Posted: Wed, 2021-Mar-24, 08:32
Hi all,
My name is Nils and I came across this forum looking for usefull information on how to build my home theater room.
I read all about the MSM principles (this forum was very helpfull for that , so thanks) and learned that I wanted to isolate frequency above 25 hz. So I created a plan to build a room within a room.
Today I came to the conclusion that it is not worth it to build a room within a room.
The reason is that my room isn't to big too begin with and that I am not able to make a floating platform on the floor to keep the resonance frequeny at a low enough point. Next to that is that one of the walls that is connected to the house of my neighbours , is already a double wall with air between it. But I can only guess what the resonance frequency of that wall will be and if it is contructed the right way.
So , I am considering my next best options ! I was hoping you guys could help me or show me in the right direction .
I also have a couple of other questions I hope you can help me with.
1. How can I determine the isolutions of all frequency's in concrete?
My attic room that I want to use has a thick 11 inch concrete floor. How will it manage to isolate low frequency in the 20 to 100hz range ?
This is actually the first thing that i ran into considering my options. Since i knew a flooting platform is no option. What use would it have to build all the wall to withould frequency's till 20hz if my floor can only isolate till 30hz (so to speak)
2. Since my main concern is isolating the sound to the hallway next to room , is it possible to make a double isolated wall on only this site? Will it have any effect if all the other wall are normal?
3. what are my next best options instead of building a box in a box ?
I hope you can help me and hope to hear from you soon.
