There. I knew I wasn't crazy! Rock wool insulation.Ha ha...I always thought he was saying "rock wool" Didn't know the name of the product. It is acoustic insulation...but I guess that is right as well...See linkThe HGTV show "Income Property" where they redo rental apts in people's homes uses some type of soundproofing insulation doube thickness and then some fire rating special dry wall that all so protects as well as insulates. He always talks about some sort of separator put in as well so there is not direct contact with the flooring above the apt.THis is also something I want to look into this winter, due to problems with the guest room above our bedroom. Some people are noisy and inconsiderate, but even those who are not we can still hear them get up to go to the loo in the night, or even drawing the curtains or talking softly.After hearing about the problems with "Sounds" getting out of the rooms and into the spaces beyond, I am thinking that sound proofing might be something I should design in when we build. Concreat blocks come to mind! Have any here has success with the sound proofing problem?.
I've long since given up policing guests that disturb other guests. That's a no-win scenario, tell the noisy people to be quiet and they get the hump, don't tell them to be quiet and the people they're disturbing get annoyed.

.I love that show. The soundproofing they use on that show is called Roxul. I am looking into when I redo the ceiling on my bedroom. I have a room right above mine and hoping this Roxul stuff will help.catlady said:The HGTV show "Income Property" where they redo rental apts in people's homes uses some type of soundproofing insulation doube thickness and then some fire rating special dry wall that all so protects as well as insulates.
