Aaahh... Production rooms!

I've done a fair amount of reading and pricing in this area, as I too would like a studio of my own.

Yes, the application is important. Are you just trying to sound proof an entertainment room that happens to be adj adjacent to bedrooms?

For studio work, yes.. .you can by a foam like material. But to get true isolation, this material can get expensive. A great place for these types of projects is www DOT homerecording DOT com

Those folks spend countless hours handling projects like that, and there's always TONS of people on.

If you're just trying to sound proof the average room, without looking like some freak studio from space, then the best you can do is get thick sheet rock, with good quality insulation. It will never be sound-proof, but it will cut back on the noise a great deal.

It's pretty hard to sound proof a room, and at the same time, make it look like a normal living space within a house. Doorways, windows, etc. will reduce your 'proofing' efforts a great deal.
