    Default sound proofing an appt room

    recently i have considered moving in with my father into either a town home or a condo.
    upon discussing with the realtors that i wish to have a room dedicated for haing my lil production studio and make sounds from and that i didnt wish to have the sound leave that room , l was told that there is foam you can set up around your walls to have the sound not go through and thus play your work at a louder than normal level( including electric guitars)

    now i know a thing or two about sound rec, and one of the things i know are that unless the walls itself are built for sound Not to go through the walls ,,,,the sound is gonna go through the walls....

    my monitors are tannoy reveal 6 my guitar amp is but a 12 inch amp but still we all know how we get when we wail out with our music , here is a photo of a room that would be wrapped up in this majic foam that stops sound from passing through (i dont know what these realtors be talking about)

    thanks guys

    They probably don't know anything about recording and think all you need is foam to stop sound...You'll probably just have to stop playing loud by a certain time. :(
