My Frustration With Not Having a Soundproof Studio

My studio setup is in a fairly quiet area of my house, but when my family members are doing normal things around the house, the noise they make sometimes makes it into my recordings and streams.

When I’m about to record any episode or voiceover that’s really important, I will ask my family to not make noise for the duration of my recording session. This works pretty well but I wish I didn’t have to hinder their activities AT ALL. I wish I didn’t have to ask them to be quiet.

I’m going to start looking into options with regards to building a soundproof room/studio for myself, or maybe getting one of those pre-made whisper rooms, etc.

Up until now I’ve avoided any major construction because, well, one thing is the expense, and secondly I’m concerned that “the studio” may be an issue if and when we sell our home.

Do you have any thoughts or any advice for me?
