    Hi lads.

    I'm considering spending a little cash on reducing sound leakage from my studio room.

    Sound proofing is not the objective, as it is a family home and I'm on a very tight budget (couple of hundred max), but I would like to reduce the amount of sound that penetrates through two of the walls in my studio, aswell as possibly the door.

    I have a few things in mind, especially after reading this interesting article:
    http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/2007/06/soundproofing

    Does anyone know of a good (preferably retail) supplier of panels which would do the job, or indeed any interesting ideas for materials which I could use.

    I know rolled up carpets would help (and indeed as acoustic treatment) but I would like to do a neat job.

    At this stage I'm thinking it might be a good start to fit wooden or cork panels to the whole wall, and something similar to the door.

    Oh by the way, it is a very cold room at the Northern exposed corner of the house, so something along the lines of thermal insulation could be very nice, as my father would be happy to contribute towards that!

    Thanks for any thoughts on this!
