I'd like to do this economically. My plan is to build a room within a room. I want to fill the ceiling joists with acoustic insulation available at Home Depot and then drywall over top (2 ply if needed.)
Then I will put in a drop ceiling leaving a gap between. For the side walls I plan to use the same type of insulation then drywall overtop then leave a gap and put in another drywall all the way around with staggered studs.
I realize this won't be perfect but do you think I can get about a 50% reduction in noise upstairs? If so then I'm happy.
Should this plan be changed somehow in order to obtain my 50% noise reduction goal?
