Garage Conversion (Before Project Began, 10′ Ceiling Standard Garage)

Boca Raton, Florida

Description: Sound Pressure Measurements were made with only a drum set and
no acoustic treatment. These SPL measurements were recorded so that comparisons
could be performed as the project progressed. The sound dampening and sound blocking
effectiveness is measured at various construction phases. This ensures proper
acoustic treatment.

Beginning the project

Garage Conversion to Studio: (First Phase)

The garage must be “ribbed” with wood to support fiber insulation and
sound barrier seal. The fiber improves thermal and acoustic properties.
The ribs will also help secure the final acoustic wall finish.

Spacing of ribs are critical along with depth and width. These ribs will support
ALL of the acoustic layered treatments. First layer is fiber (3″ thick compressed to 1.5″),
the second layer is the sound barrier block which will be shown later, and the final
acoustic absortion layer which will also be the interior finish.

View of the construction from the driveway or garage entrance. The client wants to
maintain the access through the garage door while keeping sound from escaping to
the neighbors and from traveling back into the house through windows etc.

The baby’s room is located directly above the ceiling. This sound block
will be very critical for this area. Measurements of sound pressure were taken before
the project began with a clean bare garage and a drum set shown. As the project
progresses, acoustic decibel level measurements will be made to determine
the acoustic treatments effectiveness.

Metal Impregnated Vinyl Sound Block must be sealed for no air leaks

This is an almost completed picture of the Band/Recording Studio. Sound levels were reduced 100db outside room.
