Sound isolation for wood stove stovepipe / chimney?
I'm installing a wood stove in a recording room and I'm concerned about sound coming in from the chimney. Any suggestions for dealing with this?
There is a consistent noise source nearby which, so far, I have dealt with relatively successfully with window/door plugs. The stove would open a 6" channel from the room, through the ceiling/attic, and through the roof.
The stove itself might have enough mass to stop the sound (?) but the stovepipe is made of thin metal.

Hello!
I am setting up a place to record in my basement. I want to know if my idea is flawed and going to have negative repercussions when it’s all put together.

Sound isolation - dealing with HVAC ducts
OK, so I'm planning a room. It's a 15x30 basement room. Along the 30 foot length, there are is one HVAC duct on each side running along the ceiling with vents into the living room above. I have the ceiling pretty much figured out except how to deal with these ducts. I have other ventilation plans so I won't be using them. I just can't figure out for the life of me how to insulate them for sound isolation. I can't move or modify them.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Soundproofing with exposed ceiling
So I've seen a lot of studio spaces and researched a lot. Basically I'm remodelling an 35' x 25' unfinished room (looks like an unfinished basement but above ground) and building 3 rehearsal rooms.

Building home studio in shipping container
Building a home studio, but this is what i'm working with, looks like there's no two-ways about it in terms of budget, location etc.:
-Building it in a shipping container. Yup, that's right. About 20'x6.5', height around 6.5'-8'
-Budget for sound-proofing and acoustic treatment: around $7,000 maybe could go a little more.
-DIY
Anyone have any ideas how to do this right? And i will NOT be reading Rod Gervais's book before this, mainly because of time.

Building a room within a room on a floating floor solutions
Hello! I have an impact noise attenuation question.
If I build a room within a room on a floating floor using a Mason spring jack type system, will this make low frequency impact noise coming from an upstairs neighbor practically inaudible at night (assuming it’s done properly)? I live in a high-rise (an upper floor) cast concrete apartment building with 8-inch(20cm) slabs and I am concerned about noise coming from dragging the furniture on tiles and laminate floor at night coming from an inconsiderate neighbor (I don’t have access to the noise source to treat it there).
