Hello. I hope this is the right place to ask.
I've been searching far and wide for a mobile recording and practice solution. Essentially I want to make a reasonable amount of noise (say, playing rock music at a normal volume, playing acoustic guitar and singing, etc.) inside my van without being heard by anyone outside, even if they're standing a couple feet away. I'm much more worried about sound leaking out than sound coming in, want to get as close as possible to being in an isolation booth.
The only solution I found was to purchase one of these prefab isolation booths (https://whisperroom.com/model/mdl-4872-s/) and bolt it to a raised roof van that can accommodate the height. It's around $5000, but the idea of having to deal with two sets of doors, a room within a room scenario, isn't all that appealing.
Is there any way to do a "conversion" directly on the van to achieve the same result without having to spend $5000 on a booth? Any advice would be appreciated, even suggestions on reading material or specialized forums to go to. I know virtually nothing about car audio at this point but am willing to learn. Would be starting from a passenger (not cargo) van with seats removed and would want any removed headliner or interior material to be put back at the end so it has a nice "living room" feeling. Also if this is a service that is offered by custom audio shops for maybe a couple thousand, would be willing to go that route as well.
Thank you for reading.
