how much does soundproof insulation cost ?

and which kind is the best ? i have a stereo that i blast but my uncle can hear it threw his room and recently we took the wall down cuz we have to rebuild it and i wanna buy soundproof insulation so yeah

I assume you're talking about attic vent turbines Those don't need to be covered, but covering them, or blocking the opening from inside the attic will help retain some heat that would otherwise be lostA warmer attic will reduce the temperature differential between the air therein and the air inside the living space, and that would result in a small savings It's less of an issue if the ceiling is well-insulated Also, it would be easy to forget to open them if you block them from insideThough the heat of summer would probably remind you.

As a practical matter, the effectiveness of wind turbines increases with altitudeWind has friction with the ground and local topology has a large influence on wind speed at roof top levelYou need a 50 m tower to get into a zone with less perturbed airflowThe foundation and engineering for the tower will cost more that the wind turbine itselfA roof top version is just a nice toy that will give a bit of supplemental powerA well designed passive solar system costs less and can be implemented at ground level without large engineering costSolar buildings work very well during sunlight hoursIn January 2011, my experimental solar building averaged 9 C above ambient over 24 hours with 9 hours of sunlight and 15 hours of darknessIn sunlight the building was 26-30 C above ambient (average -22 C)This is enough to reduce your heating bill, but not enough to supply all of the heatingThe next step is to add phase change materials for short term energy storage (cooling during the day and warming at night) as well as geothermal to store summer heat for winter useWith these additions, it is quite feasible to heat a house with solar only, even in cold climates like the Canadian prairies.

Insulation will help a lot - but you will still have sound leak - Rigid insulation will cost about $1.38 per SF - fiberglass insulation $1.06 per SFA quiet room with zero sound leakage about 8 - 10 times this amountTom A SrConstruction Manager Albion, MI

If you want to save money on heating and cooling, insulate the floor of your attic betterThe fans are for ventilation to keep it dry up there, not necessarily for removing heat, but they do that too.
