Hi Jeff, I enjoy your entertaining and informative DIY videos. Although I'm not doing any DIY projects, when I watch your videos, I could at least "vicariously" do DIY projects. Anyhow, on this topic of soundproofing a ceiling against impact noise, you had a shorter video where you first said that a "usual" way to do this is to hang dry wall and then hang another sheet over it, which was covered with Green Glue (@$40 for each 4' x 8' section). You estimated the cost as around $9,000 for professional installation. Then you suggested a much cheaper and more effective way, which was to treat the floor upstairs by placing carpeting over thick sound absorbing padding. Where is this video? I need to show it to my friend who is actually considering the "usual" way to stop impact noise from the ceiling. Thanks, Jeff. And keep up the good work. (If anyone know where I can find this video, I'll be happy if you tell me.)

Jeff, assuming one could actually afix MLV to the underside of the joists (staples and a lot of help?) and then drywall over that, would this be an effective solution? If possible, this seems like a happy medium between removing and reinstalling the floor covering on the floor above or spending $17 per sq foot on the ceiling below.

Instead of going 3/4" solid hardwood as I originally planned I may get 5/8" engineered hardwood with 1/8" mass loaded vinyl which is typically 1 lb/sf. Even though 1 ponds per square foot of additional dead load may sound as a lot of extra weight this is only 150 pounds for a 150 square feet room. You don't recommend using QuietWalk underlayment sold by Home Depot for soundproofing he floor/ceiling?

That plastic when sealed is a great start to stop air movement and help with sound transmission however for us here in Texas the moisture barrier is either not used or it is on the outside so we don't get that benefit. I have seen what happens to buildings here when a northern company specs out how they want their buildings built. It results in moldy drywall and moldy and rotting structure. Mass loaded vinyl is great stuff. It's been used as the backing in automotive carpet for decades and it just works. The vinyl with the lead layer in it is awesome stuff but pricey.

Hi, I have a project on an old Victorian flat and want to do my best to minimise base transferring through the old floorboards. There is ash between the floors but it’s an old property and we can hear everything from above. My plan was to use green glue joist tape. Then screw the boards down tight and seal all the gaps with acoustic sealant. Then 1/2 inch plywood screwed to that. That makes up subfloor, decent acoustic underlay and hardwood will be on top the finished floor (probably floating). Would you recommend sandwiching a layer of MLV between the floorboards and ply?

Easiest way is to build a ”new wall” around. In for example apartments you build two walls besides each other with no contact to reduce transmission. Also insulation and several layers of 5/8 drywall. Sealant at top and bottom etc. It is very involved and revolves around minimizing mechanical transfer, minimizing air movemant and adding mass making it harder for noise to come through.

That is a good idea to use it as underlayment, but it's supposed to be limp, I would think putting it on the joists, under the sub floor would work better. For walls, I looked into it, but it was more expensive than green glue. Maybe pricing has come down. Walls would be much harder to install that heavy stuff.

@humantorus3786 Жыл бұрын

If it was placed on top of the joists, then wouldn’t one need to screw through it when placing the floor boards back? ( if so the holes in it might let more sound through than if laying it on top of the floorboards and underneath the final flooring ) no?

@@humantorus3786 That is a good point! I'm not sure which matters more. Screw penetrations or limpness.

So, green glue is great for creating that sound absorbing space, but a bit on the expensive side. What if you sandwiched strips of MLV between the 5/8 to create the barrier?

I'll watch this twice at least. Thanks a lot.

Could you cut some and apply it on the back of your drywall from below? Or does it need to be just below your floor?

Yup. This roll at Homedepot is$125 for just 4’x10’. Very expensive! Any recommendations where in the U.S. we can get some cheaper cost mlv?

thanks for highlighting a better and cheaper option! for my project i'm more concerned about sound transmission the other direction. from my garage shop to the upstairs living space. i'm assuming the MLV will be a good thing do upstairs, but pondering additional components. hat channel. possibly installing sound board to the under part of the upper flanges of the TJI's before insulation etc. also no can lights. those seem to act as megaphones! any thoughts you might have would be highly appreciated! thanks for the good video/info.

So what can we use to dampen the bass drum/foot fall noise on the main floor above a crawlspace...but do it from underneath?

Can I out this below the floor joists before installing ceiling drywall?

@SimplySketchyGT 3 жыл бұрын

Yes. Suppliers say to put it on the stud work before drywall.

I appreciate the info, you actually addressed my question (unlike too many other videos on here) but it took way too long to get there. Just felt like you could have skipped the first 7 min.

I’m in a part of the world where I cant buy specially made vibration proof items. I’m going to try an isolation method, but by using multiple rubber engine mounts, fixed into the concrete wall using M12 screw anchors. My wooden batons will be bolted to these mounts, then I can apply layers of drywall and MLV/polyurethane glue to this. The cylindrical rubber mounts are 100m deep so will provide a nice big air gap for MLV/Rockwool. I can get the mounts for $5 each and the price for the 16mm drywall and poly glue isn’t too bad either, so shouldn’t be too expensive.👍

Thanks for the video. Is this method useful in sound proofing noise from downstairs to the upstairs room? For example: The floor level is the living room with TV and speakers. Above the living room is the kids bedroom. Will the mass vinyle installed in the kids bedroom block the sounds coming from downstairs while watching a movie for example?

Hi, Very nice and informative videos. You are very good, detailed and knowledgeable about your stuff. In your opinion, can I use high density foam tape in between the point of contact of HAT CHANNEL & the joist and then screw in the hat channel directly on to the joists? Sound dampening clips are too expensive ($6.00 or more) and by putting foam tape in between the point of contact will probably be less than 1/10th of the cost. With your experience, do you think it will work?

My house has hardwood flooring. I was only got to refinish it to be a darker color but I have concerns about removing the flooring to put this stuff down. I don't want to damage the hardwood floors.
