Just put up a wall in my finished basement, half of the wall is boarded with drywall, my plan is to use it as a computer room and to avoid having the noises i make from furiously masturbating escape through the walls to the other rooms when in use, how should i go about soundproofing the room?
from what i've read acoustic foam is only good for removing the echo in a room, while a carpenter i spoke to had told me soundproof insulation would make this room too hot, since it's mainly for exterior walls. The fuck should I do?

Who the fuck makes noise when they jack off?
You could install a white noise generator, to mask sound instead.

I wasn't serious. I just want to minimize the amount of noise going from one room, to the other.
the main issue is that I was told soundproof insulation would cause a problem leaving the room too hot, if this isn't the case then I will hire people to come and blow the walls with insulation.

When I *had* a basement (Denver), it being too warm wasn't an issue. That's where my computer sat.

Yea, I was in an unfinished basement (not this house) before and it was great, but it was an entire basement that was open, not a closed off room, i'm just worried that with only 1 vent in this room, and soundproof insulation in the walls that this room will be too hot during the summer.
i probably should have trimmed my OP to 'does insulating 4 walls for a room make it too hot' or 'does would Sound proof insulation leave a computer room too hot'
what you need to put is glass wool between the walls of the basement and a durlock frame built around all the walls of the room you intent of sound-proofing. Have in mind tht you practically need to create another room inside the room you currently have, so it will be a little hotter than the rest of the basement, but unless you live in a really humid place it shouldn't be too bad

Building a room inside a room is how the pros do it. Leaving an air gap between the walls so sound can not travel any further. Also building floating walls.
You are right about the foam. It only helps reducing echo.
