I was just curious if the following design would be good for sound attenuation, and at least a little bit of isolation:
A movable room divider made of hollow core doors hinged together with 3 inches of Roxul Safe n Sound on each side of each door. If this arrangement went wall to wall and was modified to reach the ceiling, could it limit the amount of noise coming through from the other side of the divider? Or, could it be used as a makeshift vocal booth so that the mic inside picked up significantly less bleed? Thanks chiefs.

The doors would physically be OK to hold up insulation if it's either glued or impaled; however, there's a good chance they would also introduce a resonance at somewhere between 350-400 hZ, not sure how much the insulation would damp that.
Isolation-wise, next to nothing - probably just roll off high frequencies some (like if you have a computer in the room), that's about it... Steve
BTW, a hollow core door has an STC of around 19-21, but that's assuming it's SEALED into a higher TL wall - like I said, not much.

Soooo, when a Musician dies, do they hear the white noise at the end of the tunnel??!? Hmmmm...

OK cool, thanks for the info! 
EDIT: The reason I ask about the doors is because someone mentioned it at this link http://studio-central.com/phpbb/viewtop ... highlight= as a design similar to the main one from that discussion.
As a followup to my first question, do you think that this design (with the 4 panels and acoustic foam) would serve as a good booth (with mic bleed minimized). Also, could I use the Roxul safe n sound insulation in place of the foam?

Re: Room divider made of hollow core doors hinged together
Ummm... no it would not, as already explained EIGHT YEARS AGO! It always amuses me how spammers try to hide in ancient threads...That would be a great idea because room driver made of hollow core doors hinged together would be very helpful
I'm not even sure what that is supposed to mean! Maybe if you could re-phrase that in intelligible grammatical language, it would help...helpful for all and dual beneficial also
