Hello everyone!
I'm in the process of converting a very tiny room into a workshop, the problem is... Neighbours! They're quite easily irated by any noise and will not hesitate to call the police if I even turn my drill on.
I live in a condominium with some very thin walling and flooring, so it's nearly impossible to avoid issues with (and annoyance to) them, and they are some very bad troublemakers. Current laws prevent them from taking any action against me and me from taking any against them, but one day things will get ugly for me, I'm sure.
Now, the room is very tiny, just 5x10x10 ft, I was suggested to just put some rockwool and drywall everywhere, but I'd like to avoid mineral wool and fibres, with that said, is there any other sound (pun not intended) alternative?
Please bear in mind that most of the noise is produced by my circular saw, on its manual I read: "The A-rated noise level of the power tool is typically as follows: Sound pressure level 96 dB(A); Sound power level 107 dB(A). Uncertainty K= 3 dB.". I'd like that to be lower, I would be very happy with 20 dB less noise, and some less vibration. My workbench vibrates a lot too, it's a B+D Workmate 301.
Thanks in advance for reading this far and eventually giving me any answer.
EDIT: I'm sorry, for some reason it did not format the post, it's fixed now!
