We're in a semi-detached house and looking into building a home theatre in our ground floor living room with a 5.1.2 surround system. We have a party wall which is where the TV screen will be, so our front speakers will be facing away from the shared wall. How much should I be concerned with the sound leaking into their house, given that the main speakers will be facing away from the neighbour and not towards them? I assume the rear speakers and the subwoofer can still cause some noise. What would be the minimal, budget-reasonable thing I could do?
I never did anything like this, but I see that there are solutions like this one: https://www.noisestopsystems.co.uk/shop/wall-soundproofing/noisestop1-plus-panel/. Would insulating the party wall with this type of material help? Would I need to insulate ceiling / floor as well?
Thank you!
