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.

Help isolating recorded noises and whispers when asleep

Long story short, I keep hearing sh*t in my house, it sounds like people talking and I hear running around etc. We have cameras in our house, but they keep magically looking very grainy, I used voice amplifier but magically again...when I suspect anything..it sounds like my ear is blown off when listening...so I recorded our cameras from my phone on certain nights.

Builder recommendations in Eastern US-CT: vocal isolation booth, ~7'x12'

I have an 8'x12' corner available within a larger room (with 8' ceiling) for a vocal isolation booth.

Any builder recommendations in the Eastern Connecticut area who can get it quiet in there? I'm on the fence about doing it myself - if I can avoid construction I'd like to.

Thanks!

How much ISO do I need?

Ill try to make this short.

My wife and I just moved into our new build house. I am wanting to construct a home studio in the basement that can later be a nice man cave and/or home theater for the next buyers.

I read through Rod Garvais' book, and it seems a little over my head, but there are good points that I could take away from it.
