I’ve received a couple questions about the temperature within the booth since it’s being used in my garage. There was originally a section where I talked about this in the video but I chose to edit it out to keep it centered around the sound reduction. The booth comes with a ventilation system that’s mounted to the outside. It pulls the inside air out and sucks fresh air from the outside back in. This removes the CO2 buildup from within the room and keeps it comfortable inside so long as you use it in a climate controlled room. However, I chose to set mine up in the garage to have it on a concrete slab and to be further away from everyone in the house. So I purchased a portable ac unit and ran a hose from it into one of the intake valves of the ventilation system. Its pushing cold air into the booth and is working well! For all the details you can check out their website below. Btw, this is not an ad for them. I purchased this booth used and just wanted to share my experience with it. whisperroom.com

This is just like the practice rooms we had in college. In my music department we had these cubicles lined up inside a hall with space between the top of the practice room & the hall’s ceiling.

I guess it first felt it would be enough? Glad that you found the another solution without needing to take the acoustic drums back to the storage to play!

There's some low rumble coming from your cube due to what I think is probably caused by resonance/standing waves. You should try adding some bass traps in each corner to see if you can reduce the noise level even more!

Agreed . I have the single wall WR, same size dimension. I added bass traps on all corners and wall treatments . It makes a much larger dent. And I don’t have the double wall version he has.

If you want even more dampening I'd recommend putting some heavy duty wheels under the whole booth (assuming it has a rigid baseplate, if not you could just make one!) most of the noise would be leaking out of the door and be transmitted through the floor! If you don't mind how it will look you could also throw several blankets over the booth and have further noise reduction! I built my own studio recently and succeeded quite nicely with my noise spillage :)

And you need to decouple the thing from the floor. A lot of what you're still hearing is low frequencies being conducted through the floor and walls. While the reduction is impressive, low frequency noise tends to irritate people more than high frequencies. For that to be "whisper quiet" IMO, that should've been a 40-60 dB reduction. Considering this thing weights almost two tons, the spring risers you'd have to put in there will not be cheap.

Thank you for this superb demonstration. Ive wrestled with my conscience & also noise restrictions for decades & viewed all kinds of options / solutions. I have an excellent ekit, but I rarely play it as its just not the same feel & does not offer the same experience as acoustic drums / cymbals. Sadly my unique collection of drum sets seldom get played because currently i am renting a property & I would be evicted if I played any of them & neighbours complained (& knowing them, they would!) This is the solution. Yes, frighteningly expensive new, but for the price of a used car (or a lot less if i can find a pre-owned booth,) its going to be worth it to me personally.
