That is exactly my setup. I built a room within a room in my garage for the same reason. I also did it cus I have neighbors about 10' from my garage. You cannot hear a thing outside at all. I did insulate the garage and the grow room very well. Make sure your fans are kept in the grow room.
It is important to have space around the room like you mentioned. Sound will buffer if there is space between the walls. Also adding insulation like you mentioned will help. One more thing I did was use Sound Boad to help deaden the sound.
But if I was to do it all over again I wuold of bought a tent big as my room and it would of been cheaper. It cost quite a bit to build my room the correct way. I would expect to pay around 1k-2500k depending on how much want to spend.

Agree with everything Smokey said; insulated room within a room in my garage, neighbors very close on one side, etc., etc.

Used 6" insulation and it's VERY quiet now (portable AC, four inlines, waterfalls, venturis, etc.) - if that's not enough you can always add the egg crate foam onto the interior which should basically make the room almost silent.

I come from a Audio Video back round where soundproofing is a must you can check out this site http://www.soundproofingamerica.com/ You can spend a little or alot on this site. I have used the mass loaded vinyl behind all kinds of motors and fans with great results. In one application the customer had over 100k in antique clocks that hung on the exterior walls of a theater room. I used the loaded mass vinyl on top of the exsisting sheet rock on all the walls and ceiling and floor with Acoustical Caulk around the edges. Then another layer of sheet rock on top of that. needless to say I had the theater blairing at 100db with no noise or vibrations on the other side of the loaded mass vinyl.

a room within a room works well if done right. Think of sound like its water. If you leave cracks.. it will leak sound.

Luckily sound coming off the fans is pretty easy, as there is no bass really. Bass is the hardest.. Just frame up the room like you're planning and then drywall it up, tape it, and mud it. That alone will probably be enough to silence any fans or water movement. Just make sure to not have ANYTHING touching the inside room to the outside room. And also plan on suspending the fans with rubber or something to deaden the vibration.

look at how recording studios and especially vocal booths are built. hockey pucks work great for floating a floor and preventing any noise vibration lots of poor man drum rooms around the world are sitting on hockey pucks lol..
