Wood paneling in the basement. How should I proceed?

[Kardanmannen]

Hello good people!

I'm planning a bit for an upcoming project at home. I'm thinking of fixing up a bit in the basement. I've read through some posts about this here, but haven't really found anything that's exactly equivalent to this.
This room currently functions as a simple "cinema room" and will continue to do so, but I will also move my computer down there.
I have stairs down which I've tried to illustrate right inside the front door.

Currently, the walls are poorly plastered and painted with the wrong paint likely because it's peeling in parts, including the plaster. However, the patio was built last year, and before that, there was a smaller patio with a simpler roof over it.

The yellow I've painted is where I've placed isodränskivor on the outside, the reason the entire front side didn't get it is because under the patio there are two large concrete stairs, and as mentioned, there was a smaller patio there before, so I didn't think it was needed.

The outer wall is built with larger rectangular stones? About the size of concrete blocks.

The entire basement is heated and currently has no problems with moisture, I also have a dehumidifier active year-round.

The plan now is to install horizontal wood paneling on the stairs and the outer wall, and the plan is to sand/chisel down the plaster, install steel/metal studs, and then screw the paneling. Leave a 1cm gap at the bottom near the floor and 1cm at the top near the ceiling for airflow. But I would like to add some insulation? Is there a risk it will create a tinny sound?

Yes, I've read through that thread, but the answers to my questions are not answered there, you don't have insulation in your walls which I would want. But otherwise, the plan is the same.

How have you solved the ventilation in the wall? The panel isn't flush with the floor and ceiling, but the metal studs are.

I left a gap at the top and bottom. The entire wall is then 50mm away from the exterior wall, which is well-drained. The floor is breathable, which means that moisture concentration doesn't move outward to the walls but is evenly distributed over the entire floor surface. The room is heated by a large radiator on the wall only. Why insulate? Was there something about you not being able to insulate from the outside?

That's right. The sound. Acoustic wall and ceiling? 🤔

Yes, I don't know, I just imagine that it would become tinny with an empty wall. I've put up a wall on the upper floor that doesn't have insulation behind it, it probably doesn't stand out in everyday life, but if you bump into it or drop something in the room, I think it sounds tinny.

Yes, I don't know, just imagine it would become boxy with an empty wall. I have placed a wall on the upper floor that I don't have insulation behind, it isn't noticeable in everyday life, but if you bump into it or drop something in the room, I think it feels boxy.

I understand. I don't know how much it helped but the carpet in my case dampened a lot of sound and perhaps also because I used exterior paneling on the interior walls.

That's the plan in my case too, I think. It will probably be outer panel on the walls. I have a balcony carpet covering the whole room today, and tiles underneath. It's a 100 times more comfortable to walk on and probably dampens some sound too.

I had one like that too. About 150kr/sqm. I planned to start with that and eventually buy one for 400-600kr/sqm when the boy became a teenager. However, I've sold that house 🥺

Yeah, something like that, I think we might have bought it at Bauhaus maybe? The room is just under 4x4 so it's convenient to buy from a 4m roll. There are those green studs on the underside that keep a bit of space from the floor.

When my mother-in-law entered the room, she asked if it was underfloor heating. No, there are plugs under the carpet😂
