I am in the process of moving to a new house.
I get the garage yeay!!
For those of you that have your drums set up in your garage:
do you ever get complaints from your neighbors?
The sound leaking from the thin tin garage door I imagine is like
playing right on the front lawn.
I do not wish to make enemies but looking into sound-proofing
is just pretty darn expensive (done right) RWAR
Just wondering if anyone here has contructed a room within a room type soundproofing in their small garage and how it all worked out...
Seems my practive time on the kit may get truncated pretty severely until I can
reduce the noise substancially - but I plan to introduce myself to my new neighbors(hopefully with some fresh baked cookies or something) as a drummer that loves to play but doesn't want to make enemies or have the cops called....give them my phone # and tell to call if it is ever bothering them and state that I plan to soundproof the garage to further reduce SPL
Hopefully this gesture will allow to me to at least play a couple tiems a week during daytime hours.
Problem is the garage is not very big and contructing a room in there is going to make it really small.....I was going to build the room as big as possible to fit my entire studio
in there and band practice etc... but I may just build the room big enough for the drums only - maybe 7' x 7'...
thoughts?
