In as much as I love SIPs and what can be accomplished with them, if you were looking for a sound proof music studio like tgorle then SIPs may not be the best  solution for his application.

His shell may sound like a drum, but so would any empty shell before the finishes are installed and had better not have any hard surfaces on the floor either, as it will bounce around as well. 

if this was so important at the get-go, It would have paid to consult an acoustical engineer in the begining instead of the sour grapes now.

As bpickartz stated, I also having a "real life experience" with dozens SIPs  residential and commercial buildings I don't recall any customers complaining of acoustical problems and if anything they applaud the panels for their ability to isolate the outside noises.

Chris,

That's why I'm wondering what's driving the difference in perception. 

In every field, there are people who know more or can percieve more than the average person.  I know that in photography and woodworking I percive more than most, but I've known people in both fields that put to shame my ability to percieve what's there.  Could it be that the skill level and hearing of a person who wants that level of facility makes them individually sensitive to noises or frequencies that don't bother you or me?

Very respectfully,
Larry
