Listen

Hi Dennis, to find the paths you need only a friend and ears! Get the friend to go the other side and make all sorts of noises, footfall, conversation, lightswitches etc. A ghettoblaster would be useful too. It can be useful to block one ear. Ears should be good enough, but if there is uncertainty about the floor, mechanics have a sort of mechanical stethoscope to listen to bearings and such. Wall plan seems fine, you could put studs on studs though to increase the depth, maybe at the front wall to make a huge damped mass panel trap. Go for the best RC you can find, those ones look good to me, but I don't get to do much proper building. I am more of a guerrilla acoustician. You can take this step by step. Final acoustic treatment is the easy part.
