Is sound room on the attic bad???


I'm going to setup a dedicated sound room on the attic. The house is made of concrete so there is no issue with vibration. I'm going to put carpet and sound damping material to absorb the standing wave from the tiles and concrete.

Question is that the room is rectangluar but the ceiling is not due to the roof.

Is this going to be a major problem? Please advise.

If I understand corectly your attic has a concrete floor and the roof angles upward on both sides to a peak? Does that mean that it has no vertical sides or that the sides are short instead of the usual 8 feet?

If the side walls are short and the center peak of the roof is high (sort of like a "A" frame) you could have an excellent room without many room nodes.

Acoustic treatment to deal with early reflection or overly bright may be needed.

Good Luck!!!! Chris
