| Your listening room probably needs to be heard to be fully appreciated but I am sure that in terms of ambient noise, good as it is, it could be better. You have these large doors opening on the outside and I have a feeling your house was built using usual american materials. I would hasard a guess that your room is fairly exposed to environmental noises of all sorts. Far from me be it to criticise, and i suffer even more of this problem as mu current listening room in France is at the front of the house leading directly onto the road, albeit that the walls are stone and about 80cm thick or so. It is just part and parcel of most listening rooms nowadays that they are not truly 'silent'. On the other hand, the solution pursued by this japanese audiophile is just too extreme to my taste and I would like the soundproofing of having solid earth around the main perimeter of the room but with an open part leading to a view over the surrounding countryside...and use properly specified sound proof glass, which would have to be triple glazed and built to 'PassivHaus' standards in any case. |
