Sound Proofing

I am moving into a new house and would like to sound-proof a study/theater room. Any body have any ideas as to go about this? The main limiter is the cost of the soundproofing and the fact that the soundproofing must be applied on the exterior of the wall. Thank you for any help.

You should also check out absorption levels of different kinds of insulation. Anyone know anything about that? Drywallman?

Sounds like a fun project, keep up posted!

So the cheapest and best thing to do is to layer an inch of plasterboard to the existing walls, then put shutters over the windows and doors? That would work, but I would have to put panelling over the plasterboard to aviod it from looking like sin. Maybe I could put some of that egg-container stuff over it. I could put regular fiberglass insulation above the room in the attic...

Thank you. Have to have an idea quick.

Here is some information that I would recommend you read.

If you have any interior walls, that are not insulated, I would suggest calling your local insulation company and have them blow in insulation between each stud.
Nail your resislent channel to the existing drywall and hang with sound board.

Any other questions please feel free to eamil me at JASDRW@AOL.COM
