A staggered studwall and 8" of insulation would also result in an extremely quiet room. Here's one room-within-a-room construction built to be extremely quiet:

If this is for a hypothetical cabin, I'll assume it's not a large building. By the time you superinsulate an 8' square room (32' perimeter), you're a third of the way to superinsulating and sealing an entire 25'x25' house (100' perimeter). A DIY solar thermal collector can be built for a few thousand dollars, and would heat the home to comfortable levels without you having to light a fire.
Here's an ice fishing shack with a Trombe wall:
