You've got a few options for insulating but I guess it depends on how good a job you want to do and what your budget is like.

How big is the shed?

For insulation:

I've seen people put wooden beams from floor to the ceiling and using the rolls of insulation (like rock woll), then covering it up with ply.

To find where gaps are to stop rain, you need to find the gaps. Again, I've seen people use those flea/insect smoke bomb things. They set them in the shed and look for where the smoke is escaping outside. Added bonus, no flea/insects.

There’s more to think about then just the insulation if you are going to use it as a studio, you also need a vapour barrier or else you’ll be riddled with mold and damp after a while.

Insulated panels on the inside and ceiling, although if it's not waterproof you'll need to address that first. You can buy the panels or make them yourself, if the shed is a basic shape it shouldn't cost too much and will be easily heated.

Build once build right

Heat retention. Water tight. Finishes, windows and doors consideration. Services to and from it.

Much more thereafter

Budget will dictate the above.

I love in a log cabin. Make sure you have plenty of ventilation or you'll get damp. Condisation will cause damp on wood as well as the wood sweating.

Probably best with a timber frame build, costs less than blockwork and goes up a lot quicker plus with blockwork you would need a foundation with timber just pour a slab and build away

Do you mean isolate the possible noise or do you mean insulate

Just completed an outdoor office project, converted a 20 foot shipping container into an office with toilet and shower, bought everything off Donedeal over the last 6 months, including the t&g sheet used to clad the exterior. I recommend YouTube for ideas and you get to learn a lot from it.

Good luck with your project
