How to isolate a small room?

[ricky_1234]

Hello! I need to isolate my studio (4x3 meters) with one window on a wall. The room is empty, too.
I'll put polyurethane panels on first reflections, behind the speakers and basstrap on corners but how can I reduce the volume outside the room?

If I put panels on the entire surface of the room, I'll solve the problem? I need to put layers of panels?
Any ideas? Thanks a lot guys!

To effectively isolate your room you would have to build a room in room construction. If you are handy you can build it yourself. It will be a big project though, and your room will get even smaller. But it's doable.

Room within a room works.

So does building with denser materials. Like bricks or concrete instead of sheet rock, or at least extra dense sheet rock and in multiple layers.

I know those aren't very practical in a finished house or apartment.



Adding additional absorption in the room will only make the smallest difference outside the room.
