House a couple blocks away is home to a porfessional drummer. Has built a
practice room inside the garage. Totally isolated from the garage and
heavily soundproofed. You can barely hear him when the garage is open.

When we bought this house, I went to great lengths to "soundproof" my
office. I filled the walls with foam, replaced the door, modified the
door edges so they seal tight and vented the ceiling in three places
to provide for air pressure changes. I also padded the floor under
the carpet.

When I crank the Mac 50s in combination with the Bozaks, you can just
hear it in the rest of the house - it's not annoying at all to
everybody else in the house, but you can tell when I'm listening to
music at a high volume. At comfortable volumes, you can't hear a
thing which is cool.

Man, I could use a room like that after I eat my 16 bean stew
