Thunderbird Club

The official flag of the 2024 Thunderbird Club GTG, except you can wear it easier than most flags.

In Fremont with the Father of Trolls (in the PG&E shirt). Alas, the Queen stayed in the car to avoid the paparazzi (and possibly a ticket or tow since the parking situation was dire). I’m not sure if @Gaolee (FOT) is checking on his handiwork or @Stealth57’s shanks in the second photo. Photos courtesy of Ms. Roadkill (my first wife[1]).

[1] Don’t worry, my current wife knows I was at the GTG with #1.
 
Yesterday in Cirith Tnh (Lair of The Nasty Habits), including one of the songs @Engle sat in on. In order: @TBird1958 (bass), Sophie (vocals), Rachel (guitar), Ginger (keys), Pedro (drums), and Irv (bass).

Are there any acoustic engineer types here? Not sure the right forum to post this in. My wife and I bought a new (to us) apartment and are in the design stages of the work we want to do on it before moving in. In a room I'll be using for bass practice as well as my home office, I want to do some acoustic treatment on/in the walls and floor so I don't annoy my wife on the other side of one wall and neighbors on the other side of another wall, as well as below. Neither the contractor nor the designer/architect has any experience with bass frequencies; mostly human voices. I'm not looking for complete soundproofing, which would be cost-prohibitive, but just a significant reduction to not be transferring boom and vibration through the structure.

Band I was in recorded a record in the basement of a row-style home in Philadelphia. Neighbors on both sides. . The engineer had done this to the basement walls/ceiling and it worked very well.
