I'm new to this forum but hear you guys know your stuff. I am building a dedicated HT/Music room, I don't care about transmission to the rest of the house. But want to keep the best sound quality I can, so my question is does putting insulation in the walls make any difference to the sound inside? Or does it only keep down transmission to other areas of the house?
Thanks
Brac

16 x 19 space sheetrock front and back walls

Hi Brac, and welcome.

Your best bet for replies is to re-post at Ethan Winer's Accoustic Forum, accessed from the MP main page. They LIVE for this type of question, and the 'Tech' forum has very little traffic. For what it's worth, sound travels from room to room via contact points like wall studs(vibration), and insulation has little to do with stopping it.
Same for keeping outside noise from getting in. Inside the room, sound response is 'shaped' by proper wall footprinting(no parallel walls), floating panels, and by 'trapping' nasty frequencies. Again, shoot over to Ethan's site.

Good luck, Paul
