TV ROOM

Hi guys, I've been on a few forums looking for some advice on soundproofing a TV room. I have a semi detached house in North London and in the back have a room that we want to make into an audio room, with large TV and music system. This room is attached to  neighbour's wall and as we want to have it quite loud need some advice on soundproofing the wall and maybe the ceiling ? The wall is double brick and the back room is an extension so flat roof but we can get into the space if needed. Has anyone any advice on what can be put on the wall and maybe ceiling area.We can also lose around 10cm into the room. Many thanks in advance M

Get this book.  It's the best resource for not only keeping sound from getting out of a room, but also for optimizing the sound in it.  Given your constraints it sounds like resilient channels in your ceilings and walls may be your best option.  Any half competent contractor or even a handy layman can follow his simple instructions.  In any event, you'll learn a lot about what and what not to do to create a good sounding room.  I found it very approachable and educational.  Best of luck.
