| Re: Hope to incorporate treatment into walls. What do you think? with the pipes - build out soffits to enclose them, as Bryan points out, isolation (and other noise reduction) is important to the HT experience. as far as isolation outbound, if there's no one else to disturb, then lower isolation can be good from the standpoint of needing less bass trapping as it can escape through the walls. best bet is to build enough isolation to get the noise levels down (taking care to consider HVAC noises such as forced air ducts carrying fan noise) to 50db or less. |
