Finishing my basement. I'm putting sound proof insulation in the walls to absorb some sound. At any point in time there are 5-10 kids running around my house so this will be either a dungeon that doesn't let sound out, or a panic room that doesn't let sound in, depending on my mood.
Need suggestions on stopping vent rattle, kids running upstairs cause vents to rattle in the basement ceiling.
Suggestions for sound proofing/absorption using a drop ceiling? I'd like to avoid drywall on the ceiling as I'd like access for future wiring applications.
Economically feasible sound proof double doors?
Ways to minimize sound travel through vents?
I want it to be good, but I'm not aiming for perfect (cost is a factor), we're not people who play loud music I just want somewhere to go for some peace and quiet and to maybe watch a movie/play a game without bothering the kids/wife at night. I need high and low frequency absorption for watching movies with the sub woofer/surround.
