This is one of those rare videos on YouTube that should be bookmarked and pinned as a resource for all of humanity just because its full of practical information.

Finally no one will hear the children screaming in the basement! Thank you dude!
@plasmar1
I'll add in a military setting, the method used was the walls of the room(meeting room; this was shortly after 9/11) they made the walls out of 2by4's staggered(so the walls was about as thick as though it were made of 2x6's) so that we could than weave insulation around the beams and the whole room essentially was insulated with no gaps between the insulation...
@coffeedudeguy
My favourite cost effective tip from you (in another video) is to line the wall with bookshelves filled with books!

A great way to soundproof ceiling noise is to fix the flooring of the room above. My friend once assisted his above neighbour to install carpet with a good underlay. Instead of the wood/concreate floor she had. You could no longer hear her click-clack of high heels. It was much cheaper for him, & she was grateful for the new look.
@NigelBassman
Since you mentioned a studio and ceilings, and showed a drum kit, it is worth mentioning that a drum kit, double bass, or bass amp will transmit a lot of energy into the floor. For this (and other) reasons many studios use an floating floor above the original. If you can’t do that, build a riser for the kit that is decoupled from the floor by rubber blocks or something similar.
@fifteen8
All great advice. Rock wool and decoupling works well. Also use different thicknesses of sheetrock for each wall surface for different resonant frequencies. I've also used putty pads on electrical boxes. Seal every crack.
@Anduz001
This is basically the only video anyone would ever have to see to soundproof a room. Brilliant!

22 years ago I bought a townhouse with an unfinished basement, concrete block walls separating my unit from the 2 units on either side of me. I could hear everything on either side of me, I could easily follow conversations going on. I began asking friends about how to easily fix this problem and an old carpenter friend told me about staggered stud walls. So in my case, I built a wall using 2X4 sill plate and top plates and home depot 2X3s for the studs. The studs are placed every 8 inches and they are staggered so that there is a decoupling between either side of the wall. The framed walls were stood up and separated from the concrete block wall by about an inch. I was going to use quiet rock drywall but the cost was too high and I ended up using regular drywall. This process pretty much elliminated all sound coming from the other units. I ended up building a suite in the basement and before installing a dropped ceiling we filled the joist spaces with Rockwool Safe & Sound insulation.
@jason.martin
Some good in for here but one correction on the Use of mass loaded vinyl, do not sandwich it between drywall as it defeats the purpose of how it is to be used. You might as well just use another sheet of drywall as it will be cheaper. Also just draping the MLV on the walls, you need to have it limp and suspended, use a furring strip at the top so it is not touching the wall. This is really critical as it will be a waste of money and not perform how it is intended.

Glad he's not recommending Green Glue anymore. That stuff is ridiculously expensive for what it claimed to do... in fact the Green Glue company removed all the testing data from their website because they knew it was bogus. The main focus should be on proven build assemblies.

I helped fitting out a restaurant. There was a plant room right in the restaurant that serviced the ventilation and cooker extractor. It was quite noisy. A specific dry wall sheet was used, designed to deaden noise. This acoustic board is thicker and more dense than typical dry wall. I was surprised at how well it worked.
@IcemanTheDj
00:50 Yes, unfortunately, some people confuse soundproofing with acoustic treatment!
@Resist.Tyranny
You missed one. Acoustic laminated vacuum insulated glass windows. If you are building next to a highway or something loud and you don't want to live in the dark all the time with the windows covered by sound proofing stuff, and you have the money, then these are the choice. You will perceive about 90-97% less noise.

I bought a house on a main road a Queenslander cottage, built late 1800’s. The road outside is 4 lines main road into city, Brisbane. Road noise terrible. I removed the VJ internal walls, scrubbed 130 years of old dirt grime, rats nests and had to bog some old termite nest damage. I treated the inside of the outside weather boards and structural studs and noggins with copper based termite solution then painted with oil based paint. Next stuffed sound rated wall bats in then covered with 3mm thick heavy duty vinyl rubber sheets. Note: all gaps holes sealed properly with high quality sealant. Next sheeted the walls with 6.5mm fibre cement, next put 9mm mdf colonial vj wall sheets matching the original VJ walls, next double glazed the window. Result awesome. Wasn’t expensive just labor intensive. There are no shortcuts you cut to do it properly or get some good ear plugs.

This proved to be Ineffective; I can still hear him in the video
@jessicavallee3831
🤩 yay, now I have to go try some of this so i can sleep through my neighbors coming home drunk at 2am!
@willsmith8586
I just want to say. All I did was think about doing something like this and your video was recommended.
@plasmar1
before I watch...... the approach I took was a bought 1/4in carpet underlay, pinned it up against beams...... and than drywalled on top of that; took like 3 in screws and a bit of work but overall it did the job well:)
