"Adam, you can't be playing guitar or music after 9pm because I need to get up in the morning."
"Fine, pay to soundproof the roof."
"Fine."
"Wait....really?!?!"
Ok so I need to soundproof my roof. Not 100 percent perfect but I'm willing to take the time to get this as close as possible.
Right now I have open rafters and the bare wood floor above.
I want to:
Insulate with rockwool
Resilient channel and drywall
Green glue, and another layer of drywall
Questions:
Am I fundamentally on the right track here?
Should I do anything to the bare floor above before I start? I've read of people putting sheetrock right up against the floor, and of people caulking in between the seams. Are either of these worth the time and $ and which is better?
The two layers of sheetrock should be different thicknesses IIRC from my research...but which should be thicker? The inside or outside?
Would the fluffy pink stuff or Roxul Safe n Sound (3 inch semi-rigid rockwool) be better for the ceiling?
Any other suggestions are welcome.
You guys haven't failed me yet, I love these boards and I thank you in advance for your help.
