The Moving Blankets used in places like elevators (when tenants move) is both a sound buffer and is very flexible.

In this fashion the door can also be opened and closed (If done properly) without any problems.
It also makes for a great room acoustic affect. |
Tainojim,this would probably something I could pull off.I have access to tons of the "heavy quilted" furniture blankets and I could take them down when needed.My music receiver,speakers, mini fridge for beer is all located in the garage and on the weekends we have the garage door up,Alice Cooper blaring and frothy cold beers being shared with everyone on the cul-de-sac.Had a complete arse banging on my garage door as my drunken wife was hammering away at some old KISS....no she cannot play and grant you it was noisy.I know all of my neighbors in my vicinity and nobody has ever complained about any noise and they all have my cell number,but this schmuck lives in a community on the backside of my cul-de-sac and had his windows open that particular night.....he quoted homeowner policy and legal jargon to what will happen if he complains to local law enforcement. I do not want any probs and yes I would enjoy shoving some of his nasal cartilage into his brain.... so I have to fix the sound slipping through the garage door sides and cracks or go to jail.Thanx for all of the suggestions but we have this door going up and down constantly and I need a mobile solution.I have a Gibralter V-RACK with sides coming this week,I will work on the sound proofing,set up my son's kit and then finally take some pics for a few that requested.The kit will not compare to most of the high end setups alot of you have,but I am quite proud of what I have put together for my 9year old and he lights up every time he plops his lil fannie on his lil throne and cracks on one of the inexpensive WUHAN CHINAS we added! I freaking dig this site and I could not of put this all together without all of your input (except the suggestions for roto-toms/racks post...you people lost me on that one)!!!! Thank you all....yea...I am slightly long winded....just slightly.lol
