Boxes had to be built to contain the overhead light units. It helps isolate the studio from upstairs. Otherwise, sound could leak around the light fixtures. These are boxes normally built for loudspeakers, but the acoustic consultant recommended them for the overhead lights. You can see a bit of hanging wire. They were hung from the ceiling to a height lower than the ceiling drywall, which results in the light boxes sitting on top of the gypsum board.
Oh, and all walls, and the ceiling, contains two layers of drywall. Type C and type X, I forget which was which.

Bass trap construction. Everything went fine until I tried to stand one up. Well, it was brought into the studio on its side, and it was exactly the right height. You're probably nodding knowingly at this point. Yep, couldn't stand it up. I neglected to take the diagonal into account, so I had to cut them in half. It actually worked better that way because that made them easier to carry. I stacked them up without much trouble.

Well, couldn't find any photos of the door installation, and if I forgot to do that while it was under construction, I'm an idiot. But here are photos of the final setup.

More photos.
Still testing all connections at this point.
I had an Ikea desk. The desktop was very cheap and was bowing in the center, so I built my own desktop out of OSB and 2x4. The unit holding up the rack case in the corner I also built, because I wanted something that would hide the bundles of cables meeting at that point on the floor.

The room is very quiet. I'm happy with the interior acoustics. It has a couple of things I need to track down and fix, though. I can hear the dogs when they go nuts upstairs, as they do whenever a random squirrel goes by. This is probably borne through the ventilation system. I know HOW to fix it, but unfortunately, the manufacturers of the devices I need sell to companies, not individuals, and I'm having trouble tracking down companies that will sell HVAC noise products to individuals.
I can hear someone coming down the basement stairs. This might be borne through the construction, or there might be a leak in/around the door.
I can hear one of the cats meowing if he's right outside the door. I definitely should not be able to hear that, and I'm hoping it's because the wall between the studio and the computer closet is not completely sealed on the closet side. I will take care of that and reevaluate.
I also need to seal the cable pass-through around the edges. Easy enough to do. _________________ There's an invisible radio gnome playing a gong from a flying teapot - don't miss out! |

Wow. Hardcore stuff!
How loud can you go in the room itself and not be heard outside the house? |

Being all technical and shit, being heard outside the house is actually not a problem. Our nearest neighbors are far enough away to make that not matter. What I wanted to accomplish was not being heard upstairs - and I seem to have done that. As a test, I played some material, cranked it up to where the woofers were pumping hard, and my girlfriend could not hear it from the upstairs living area.
