i'm not that familiar with insulation..but what about wall insulation? thats REALLY thick would that work at all?

and should you wrap the insulation in some kind of plastic to seal it off? insulation fibers=unhealthy to breath in?

i'm getting ready to build m ine..just wondering!!
Hi, I'll try to answer.

It does matter which insulation you use. You want to use insulation with high density. If you use fibre glass the density would be from around 45kg/sqr meter to 90kg/sqr meter. If you use stone wool the density would be a little bit higher.

If you wrap it in plastic it would still work for low frequencies but all the high frequecies would reflect back to you. I will not say anything about the helth aspect as I'm no doctor.

Good luck to you!
