Hello everyone,
I have a basement I’m currently renovating and there will be a dedicated room measuring 13’ wide and 27’ in length. The ceiling is 7.5’ high.
I’m currently before the insulation and drywall stages and would appreciate your thoughts-
My purpose is to block sound from traveling upstairs during my basement renovation; I don’t care about sound coming from above at all because the space above is covered with carpet and underlayment and has almost no traffic.
I already plan to install a solid door in that listening room and a 5/8” drywall in the ceiling.
Some other options I’m considering and would like to hear your thoughts about are:
1. Installing resilient channels to decouple the drywall from the floor joists
2. Install Rockwool 3” between the floor joists
Which of these options will actually help blocking the sound from traveling upstairs (if any)?
Any other (or better) options for me to use in order to achieve my goal?
