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.

Sound proofing is different, and I would "assume" that it wouldn't help the sound out in the way you would want it to. It might just make it so you can listen as loud as you want without bothering anyone else.

I hear that sound proofing is incredibly expensive, so I don't know if he meant real sound proofing.
