I am renovating a 2nd floor garage apartment that has a steeply pitched roof. I am finishing up the framing, and in the proces I have raised the ceiling two feet (and the roof didn't fall in!! Wahoo!!). The old bathroom has been converted to a vocal booth/isolation room. The wall separating the old bathroom from the other room was the same height as the old ceiling, which was seven feet. I am going to frame it up to the 9 foot level and tie it into the new ceiling joists.
Here's the question. For sound isolation purposes, should I simply run that wall all the way up to the roof joists, to completely isolate the two rooms? It would mean another two feet above the new ceiling joist.
For the ceiling, I plan on using RC, insulation and two layers of 5/8 sheetrock, but obviously I will have a contiguous space over both rooms. Will this allow sound to "drfit over", or will the insulation, RC and sheetrock be enough to keep sound from drifitng out of one room and through the ceiling of the other?
