Does soundproofing improve or harm sound?


I am building a house and because of electrical mods, the GC knows I am an audiophile. He asked if I wanted soundproofing. I have never had soundproofing and don't know 1) if its effective; 2) if it will harm sound quality or improve it or not effect it.

The room is rectangular in shape and is 12 X 16 feet. Any input is appreciated.

Are you sure the GC knows anything about acoustic treatment vs. soundproofing? The former is to improve the quality of sound inside the space and the latter is to keep it from getting out of the space. Not at all the same.

For info, take a look at:
