I have just embarked on trying to soundproof (to a degree) the shed in my back garden so I can play (and hopefully record) Trumpet in it. It is a very solid wooden built shed approx 2.5 metres deep x 5 metres long with a sloping roof at about 2 metres at the front going to 2.5 metres at the back. I have begun by filling (perhaps pointlessly) all the plank spaces with silicone sealant. Will then be attaching rock wool to the outside wall (but on the inside of the shed) and putting plasterboard up. I will build an inner frame and do the rockwool plasterboard thing again. I'm not to sure what to do about the floor.

.................a picture is worth a thousand words.apologies.

Are there any particular things I can do seeing as it is specifically for trumpet? Am I going about it in the wrong way.....Is it futile and pointless.....

Many thanks

Adam
