Is it possible to build a soundproof “box” for a drum set in an unfinished basement that would actually work?
skleck911 asked:
I recently bought a house and it has an unfinished basement. I would like to use the basement for drums but want to soundproof the noise from the neighbors as much as I can. I wanted to know if it was possible, using some wood, to construct a box large enough to contain a drum set (and drummer) along with being soundproof. I thought about framing a double paned wooden box with soundproof foam on the inside.

Yes and save money as well Assuming you have poured or block walls. Look over the fiberglass ceiling tiles 3×4 plastic fronted. Using liquid nail. These can be glued to the walls. And come in many colors. Easy to cut as well. You can take these and turn a cement Wall into quit a art project. Use as you would color tiles, Insulated and sound proof. Spray with a clear cote. Problem there easy to damage and need cleaned with mild detergent Next take roll insulation and insulate between the floor beams. Use 2 0r 3 layers of paper cote. then 4×8 sheets of fiberglass over them. Nail to the beams. Can be painted with water bases paint. Not much sound would escape a basement like that. Do not put wood under ground termites love that. Have mature Friends these are soft walls and ceiling easy to damage jamesbergen50
You can certainly do what you want. I suggest you study some of the online sites similar to the ones below for information and possible materials.
To be really successful at any sound proofing job you really need to know about various methods and materials that can give you the required results.
