What not to do to your garage.

In YOUR neighborhood? I would think all the loud rap music and hydraulics bumping would be cover for your compressor.

That's funny sh!t! Brian, do you have exposed studs inside or is it drywalled? The sound testing I've conducted in the car room showed me that (along with an insulated garage door) drywall will add a fairly efficient sound barrier. I will crank up the sound system and continue testing for you today.

Garage is not drywalled yet. I was waiting for the full garage mod before I do that.
I was thinking of doing the ceiling because of the old style tile roof. Lots of air gaps up there.

I think the insulation thing will work much better if it's *all* done. There's no question an uninsulated shop will bleed more sound out than an insulated one. The drywall will help. Don't forget the vapor barrier.
Up here, most shops are insulated and it makes a big difference. It's not a perfect solution to the noise problem, though.
As for the compressor, consider installing a muffler on the intake. Most of the noice that comes out of a compressor comes from the intake. They make mufflers for that.
Lastly, do get the glitter globe. It will help when you want to paint the light fantastic.

*Ignoring the banjo crack********
If you insulate the walls and ceiling and leave the stud bays open..ie... no drywall... Your room will be as close to "Dead" as you will be able to make it. There is no other sound proofing close to that except the foam "egg crates". We have the sharp foam in the recording studio but its costly to say the least.

Brian,
Get a few more pitbulls and a Rot. Do you have any assault rifles?
