Construction Starts! Room addition is 15x20 with 11’ ceilings. Slab is 3000 PSI. Room is being added to the back of the garage caddie-corner to the master bedroom (source or potential sound issue for wife). Wives!
Here is the setup:
The soundproofing should be sufficient to absorb the higher frequency driver and iron impact, but the low frequency impact of the ball hitting the screen has me a little concerned. I think I will be okay though. If I can hit less than 40 STC on impact (measured where she is) I am hoping that will be enough so she will not complain.
The A/C unit was moved (temporarily) today. Footing and rebar gets dug and laid tomorrow.
I got a nice deal on the gaming laptop for the room during Christmas (it is $400 more expensive on Newegg now).
I bought a Db meter so I can test the noise level. My driver swing speed varies between 108 and 115 Mph (not bad for 56). The test will be with my friend that is in the mid 90’s. I will have PROOF if the wife complains…lol. If she finds 40 to 45 STC annoying I am getting a divorce….lol (jk).
I am not planning to make this a bar type setup as I (like 90%+ of the time) and perhaps 1 other person will be in the room.
If you guys have any questions, I will be happy to answer based on research I did (especially on the sound issues).

Here is the setup:
- Uneekor Eye Xo;
- SIG 12 from Shopindoorgolf;
- Landing turf
- SIGPro 4x7 premium mat.
- Optoma EH412ST Golf Simulator Projector;
- Ceiling Mounts; and
- Uneekor Swing Optix Camera system (I am so stoked about this system for quality swing videos and analysis - the best I have seen);
- CLARKDIETRICH SOUND CLIPS and CHANNEL (best sound reducing clips I could find when doing STC comparisons);
- 5/8 Type C Drywall;
- Rock Wool Comfort Batt insulation;
- 3.5 mil poly at the walls and ceiling over the insulation;
- Sound dampening curtains for 4 windows and sliding door (potential source for sound leaks & total for curtains was almost $300);
- Entry door is insulated exterior door to reduce sound;
- Sound dampening curtain will be added to slide across the door when closed to further dampen sound;
- Projected STC sound reduction is 60 STC (I am hoping that will be enough to get me under 40 STC on impact screen); and
- All electrical outlets will be insulated to further reduce sound leaks.
