STUDIO CONSTRUCTION
PARTITIONS AND DRYWALL EXAMPLE
Now lets just look a bit deeper into this concept of partitions
for sound isolation. First, lets have a look at a wall.

I have gone for a double wall system as you can see here:

Air gap
This air gap can be anything from 2 to 3 inches all the way
up to a foot. A foot would be ideal but if you dont have the
space 2 or 3 inches will really make a huge difference and
this has an STC of 65.
At an STC of 65 music is barely heard, the bass notes
make a slight thumping noise but speech, noise and
outside noises are completely inaudible. This is the
system that Ive gone for in my studio. Its really, really good.
There will be some slight leakage of bass through this
double wall but its only at very loud volumes.

Garage
Door
On the right is where the double garage doors are and you
can see that Ive put a line to show that its closed. The first
thing I did was build a single drywall with double layers of
half-inch plasterboard.

Now youll notice that this actually creates a second wall for
me because theres the drywall, then theres that space and
then theres the garage doors which are closed. So even
though the garage doors are not exactly the most airtight
sealed wall, it still is a barrier, so this becomes a double
barrier.
