Can a garage serve as listening room?


My system is currently located in my living room, which is a nice big room. However, due to space constraints (wife imposed of course), and the dangers posed by ambulatory toddlers, I have considered moving my system to my garage. However, I fear that a metal garage door, and concrete floors will probably have negative sonic ramifications. Is this so?

All responses will be greatly appreciated.

Based on the year of construction, the concrete floor may have a 1/4" per foot sloop to the door. If it does, light weight concrete can be installed to level the floor out. The steel door can me treated with insulation which is sold at one of big box hardware stores. Electrical issues may need to be addressed. Also changing the the garage to habitable space, as it relates to the Building Code (s) is another issue. If you avoid the code, add a smoke detector.

Good Luck
