I'm hoping to get a little guidance with a sound proofing (or at least a sound minimizing) project I'm about to begin. I have a home recording studio on the downstairs level of our house. Directly above it is my wife's study. The ceiling/floor only contains some yellow insulation. So there's really nothing to absorb noise coming from downstairs. Currently we're able to negotiate a schedule that involves me using headphones if she's actually in there working, but it would be nice if there was a relatively uncomplicated means to provide a greater barrier against noise between the rooms.
One idea I had was to install another layer of drywall (or plywood or MDF or ?) on the ceiling of the studio and sandwich a layer of mass loaded vinyl in between the existing drywall ceiling and the new layer. How effective do you folks think this would be? Or are there other comparably involved options that might work better?
I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.
