Thanks Martin.
It is our intention to sandwich some sound deaden foam or such in the fire wall. I have few friends in the sound studio biz, and I am going to consult with them about it. My guess is they will tell me to fill the space with sand- Fireproof and sound deadening, but I think it would taking things a little too far. We are going to have carpet on the floor and up to the tops of the sills, but I am not sure about the firewall. I rather like your idea of a removable panel of carpet to go over it.

I noticed on one of the build strands that someone had wool waste type underlay on the floor. I am not sure how they intended to cover it. Cheers al
