does this small section of foundation need to be insulated?
Our basement was finished by the previous owners. This photo is taken from inside a storage closet. The other side of the door is the finished basement. Should the small section of foundation (see red arrows in photo below) also be covered by insulation?
For sound proofing reasons, I (or an insulation company) may add R30 UNFACED Fiberglass Batt to the ceiling of my soon to be (re)finished basement.

Is there a chance this might cause any issues/change any existing circumstances with humidity, air circulation, etc...? Right now there's a modest level of humidity and we have a santa fe dehumidifier which keeps it well controlled, but I'm wondering if adding the insulation might do anything negative (i.e. does it limit air circulation from basement to house, thereby increasing humidity in the basement?).
Thanks for your thoughts.
Thank you.

Maybe a dumb question:
If I have some R12 batt insulation, can I just double up the R12 insulation in my 2x6 walls to achieve R24?
Thanks.
