Building Noise-Free Booth To Study Inside?
Hello
our neighbour is very noisy
all of our house is affected by their noise
instead of sound-proofing my entire room i wanna build a 4-side cube 1.5m each side (one missing side is a quiet wall and other is the floor (quiet too)) using wooden frame and putting rock wool inside the frame and making a little space on the one side of the cube for air vent and hanging a lamp inside it.
do you think this idea works?
can noise come from little air vent or gaps or joints (not airtight)?
*note: for entering it, i lift it, rock wool is light

Why don't you just get some earplugs? Or ear buds or headphones? Or go to the library to study? If the foam ear plugs aren't enough get a pair of these to wear in addition: https://www.walmart.com/ip/CONDOR-Ear-Muffs-Over-the-Head-NRR-19dB-26X628/517445133?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1122&adid=22222222227071164214&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=182152427752&wl4=aud-566049426665:pla-285062747894&wl5=9012550&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=101593696&wl11=online&wl12=517445133&wl13=&veh=sem&gclid=CjwKCAjw-4_mBRBuEiwA5xnFIGavu4nTewLWwFuFhRHoRCyfgxs5kUy-_QTQR6EKjSv0BYP5E1waHBoCbOEQAvD_BwE

Cry me a River Silicon ear plugs work real well. CVS is where I bought mine.

Noise can be transferred through joints. Also, it might be worth bearing in mind that the ceiling can create flanking noise. There are quite a lot of videos online covering this idea, or offering ideas, sometimes the DIY forums are the best way to go as they are from people who have actually tried this method. Foam earplugs are pretty effective, but they won't completely shut out low vibrational noise or door slamming.
