I recently moved. My new place is a Queenslander style house. The neighbours are about 2m from either side of our house. If their window is open, we can hear them talking in their kitchen through our CLOSED windows. Same on the other side. I think one side has residents that work but I think the other side is a family of three with a kid and a stay at home mom. They seem nice enough, but I feel like this is still a very delicate situation and if I play my cards wrong I'm facing a situation which could result in me having to give up woodworking.
My potential shop space is under my house and is, for all intents and purposes, completely open air. The absolute furthest I can get any one tool is about 5m from the neighbours. As it stands, it would be like running my thickness planer right outside their window.
so I need help. I need to get this area as quiet as possible. Building a detached structure is not an option. My space is about a 3m x 4.8m concrete pad. As it stands, my plan is to frame it in with 2x4s and use soundproofing insulation on all sides. I expect this to cost about $1000. If I KNEW beyond a doubt that it would work, I would do it without a thought. My biggest fear is putting all of the time and money into building this vault-like room and then getting a knock on the door in the middle of my first project.
Another consideration is budget. If my pockets were bottomless I'd just pay a guy to come do it and be done with it but that's not the case. $1000 is about all I can spend on this. Maybe $1500 but it has to be guaranteed to work.
so that's what I'm facing. Any kind of advice appreciated.
