Building a house

Obligatory sound isolation. If you have windows, then buy thick curtains. When you finish, buy a good recliner where you can sit and relax. Try the fourth one https://www.reclinerland.com/best-recliners/ Great comfort at a great price. Has lever to adjust reclining feature. Great chair for listening to music or watching TV! or just relaxing!

Some of the best sound acoustics I heard were in a basement listening room, with a slab floor and cinderblock walls up to about three or 4 feet, with framed walls up to the ceiling. The rigidity of the floor and walls made the bass awesome!

All super helpful comments here. I'm in the final design phase for my 17 X 23 with peaked ceiling bonus room over the garage and need to specify build specs for floor, interior/exterior walls, and ceiling. Here is what I am thinking:

• 5/8" drywall screwed and green glued over studs (2X6 exterior and 2X4 interior) with mass loaded vinyl sheets and rockwool sound batts within the cavities of interior walls (regular insulation on the exterior walls).
• 5/8" Quiet Rock on the front wall behind the speakers to create dead end/live end arrangement.

Not sure what to do with the floor joists and flooring could use some help here since this will be the most problamatic surface--brace the joists and add a layer of mass loaded vinyl beneath the plywood flooring? The floor cavities will be filled with regular insulation since the unheated garage is below.

The goal is less about sound insulation and more about making the room sound good--reducing wall and floor shudder, etc.

Thanks!
