Just curious, but do you mean that you put the soundproofing in the walls yourself while they were still being constructed?



Exactly. After the house was framed, wired and inspected I put soundproofing inside all the interior walls. IIRC the cheapest solution was R-13 Kraft backed insulation between the studs which worked out to about $100 per thousand square feet of living area.
