    We put one in our house 3 years ago, and it is truly worth every cent we paid. Unfortunately. we had to draw permits so it is on record as existing, so no real secret. It is a small 12'x16' soundproofed room with no windows, but we tied it into the HVAC and it is quite comfortable. We use it as a quiet room (I wanted a man-cave but was over-ruled) so it is perfect when the neighbors are mowing thier lawn or working on the cars. Adjustable LED lighting with color shifting bulbs and a small stero make this room everything we could ask (except for a quet place to smoke a cigar or play guitar privately).

    Yeah, I know, but we had the money and it was worth it.

    @Sicpup: The kidney was no problem though as I'm sure you now have plenty from stealing the neighborhood kids and chopping them up in your new soundproof room...

    @UnderLoK: I never said it was my kidney... and I would never chop up children in the quiet room- messy work is done in the garage where we have a floor sink and a pressure washer.

    Uh, this would be where I would keep my my children that I would have incest sex with and impregnate. I would keep it from my wife and then eventually get caught.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: This happened maybe six months to a year ago in Germany. Some old guy had a daughter, locked her up in a his basement, and had sex with her. She had three or four of his kids that never went out side.

    Funny thing is, when I was writing this comment, there were no comments listed yet. We must have posted at the same time.

    Alternatively, you can hide your daughter, and the six babies you had with her in there.
