    Excellent DIY project. You can be proud. I am also to build a small soundproof booth for entirely different needs but you are a source of inspiration. Thank you for sharing your journey ( I watched all your videos)

      Thank you. The sound reduction of my booth is adequate for my needs but I could have made it better but that would have cost more. I have seen booths with an additional layer of mass loaded vinyl which had good results. The heat can be a distraction and if I build a bigger booth I will include ventilation next time.

      Hi. My booth has a reduction of 20db at high freq and 30 at low freq. I did a video recording this with a sound meter and tone generator set at the four frequencies used for testing professional booths so I can make a comparison. I tested it with the door open and closed and from downstairs. The video is on my channel. The professional booth stated a reduction close to 40 dbs for high freq on their website. I have seen some good DIY booths for drums but they had double doors and double walls since it would be more difficult for reducing the low freqs of a drum. Thanks.@@NacNacMOTT

    Good job 👍. I was lucky to have a room built using steel studs (mostly) and resilient channels. The doors are the weak point (particularly around the edges despite weather stripping). If I did it over I would do double doors.

    I'd leave the door open when you're done because moisture builds up when you're in there with the door closed. You don't want it to turn into the Mold Box of Doom.

      Hi. you're right. But since I play the saxophone, I will use a mic and headphones so I can turn down the volume of what I hear as I play along to backing tracks. But without headphone or earplugs it is noisy. Thanks for the comment.

    Hi, well done with the booth, really enjoyed your videos. I saw you mention in the comments if you built another you would add mass loaded vinyl. Where in the build would you attach this? Outside the external drywall or somewhere in between, e.g. outside of insulation but inside the drywall and attached to the wooden frame? Cheers

    • @Saxcomprehensive
      @Saxcomprehensive  Год назад

      Hi. The videos I have watched in which it was effective, they had the MLV attached on the inside to the wooden framework and then covered with the drywall so it was not seen. Other videos suggest that it should be sandwiched between 2 layers of drywall. I would have done the former. The only reason I did not do it was the cost and I would have to order it. It is also supposed to be very heavy and may be difficult for one person to attach it and then you would have to decide on which thickness to use. Some MLV have an adhesive backing. There are lots of videos on booth builds on RUclips some of which I was impressed with and many testing videos of professional ones. The only reason I built mine was because I did not want to pay the prices of the professional ones. I am happy with mine though it could be better in reducing the sound. Good luck with your build. Thanks

      Hi. I can practice for 35 mins then I open the door to let in some air and continue for another 30 mins. After an hour it is warm and I start to sweat, so time for a break. But I guess an hour of practice and then a break is good enough. I will probably get a fan or invest in ventilation. Have you seen the Kube sound booths? They are around the same size but expensive. Thanks.

      @@mrcrowleyoz Hi. it cost around £600. I have a video on my channel with the price breakdown and the testing. A professional booth will cost around £3000. Building a booth is a good experience but the danger is that in the end it might not perform as you expect. At least with a professional one you can test it out at a showroom before you buy but they are way too expensive for my small channel. Thanks.

    • @Saxcomprehensive
      @Saxcomprehensive  Год назад +1

      Hi. It would cost around £600 which is a lot cheaper than a professional booth which cost around £2000. However there are advantages for a professional booth in that you know what to expect as you can try them out at a store. If you build one yourself, it may or may not live up to your expectations. I have another video showing the breakdown of the cost and the testing of this booth which will give you some idea of how effective a booth with these materials would be. Thanks.

    Can we just use acoustic foam only?

    • @Saxcomprehensive
      @Saxcomprehensive  Год назад +3

      Hi. Acoustic foam does not block sound. It is a sound absorber. That means it will remove some of the reverb or echo of the sound but will not stop sound travelling in or out of the booth. If you are trying to create a quiet space then acoustic foam alone will do very little. Professional booths which cost thousands of pounds and made to the highest of quality only reduces the sound by around 30dbs. However if you want to use your booth for voice recording I have seen booths made with thick foam but they will do little to stop the sound of musical instruments. Thanks.

      @Saxcomprehensive  11 месяцев назад

      Hi. This booth is so small that I can just reach out and open the door every 30 minutes to let some fresh air in. After 45 minutes it gets warm and so its time for a break and allow the booth to cool down. I did not think that with such a small booth ventilation was worth it especially since I would have to isolate it to reduce the fan noise which would have taken up a lot more space. Thanks.

      Hi. I have a break every 40 mins and open the door to let in fresh air and for the booth to cool down. Ventilation would not be worth it with such a small booth since I would have to sound proof the fans. The main problem for me is the heat since I can always open the door briefly. Thanks.

      Hi. I practice for half an hour then open the door for a quick break, then practice for another half an hour. After an hour it begins to get warm so I have a break leaving the door open and return later for another session. The heat is more of the problem than the air though I have practiced for an hour without opening the door. It would be easy to add a ventilation system but it is just as easy to open the door every 30 mins since the door is just behind me. Thanks for the comment.

    • @Saxcomprehensive
      @Saxcomprehensive  Год назад

      @@musicupmylife6116 Hi. The videos I have watched have used long tubing which bends several times like a snake and are insulated on the outside. They state that sound travels in straight lines so has difficulties travelling around the bends and the insulation reduces the sound passing out the sides. However with long tubing it is also difficult for the air to enter. So a silent fan would be used to circulate the air. Which means you may need an inlet and an outlet. So some will have 2 fans. Then to get a good silent fan is expensive. A lot of these booth makers state they can hear the noise of the fan. I suppose that connecting a tubing to the air conditioner would work so long as the tubing is insulated to stop the sound getting out or in. I have not seen it done if this is what you are suggesting. Adding a hole is another area for sound to escape so will have to be done right in order not to ruin the effectiveness of the booth. This is the reason why I have not done it yet or added windows. let us know if it works. Thanks.
