    Helps a little but I’m renting and I can’t rip out anything. I have a wooded floor above me. The landlord was too cheap to install any insulation at all, so anything over 30 decibels is heard from other apartments around me. Most of us that rent don’t have the option to do work on their floors. Hello this is for most of us that rent and don’t own. I don’t think my landlord will approve this kind of work.

      @SmilingDepression 2 месяца назад +1

      if you cant modify the source (upstair's floor) and you cant open the ceilling then the third and final option that i havent seen mentioned anywhere but ill be attempting is to make a false ceiling. reasoning being structure noise (like foot steps) are already reaching your ceilling rn, attaching anything to it like more drywall wont really help, the vibration will just get transferred to that. you could try those metal tracks (i forgot the name) but because your whole ceiling is vibrating, you'd only have one layer of drywall blocking all that noise so its no bueno imo. my plan is to simply add insulation right on the existing ceiling so i dont have to touch it, dmg it, etc. then i need a way to support it and preferably hide it. wood to hold it up is the obvious choice but again it cant be screwed to the ceiling or we're back to square one. the solution i came up with is to instead connect 12 foot long boards from wall to wall as people dont really walk close to the walls so the small amount of vibration going into the studs from their floor and transfered the new false ceilling's wood would be 1/10th of what it is now. damage to the apartement would be a couple screw holes which is easily patchable when you move out so any landlord complaining about it can easily be ignored. the most annoying part is once you got the insulation in place and the wood boards you need to cover it up. so that means drywall installation which can be a pain but again its being installed on your wood you paid for and easy enough to tear out when you move with just screw holes to patch in the walls aka landlord might not like it but it is not permanent nor damaging so what can they do aside from complaining. either way its worth the risk for me as some evenings becomes unlivable in my apartment when upstair has people coming over all stomping around.

    • @SmilingDepression
      @SmilingDepression 2 месяца назад +1

      another idea brewing in my mind tho it might be canada only is to use SONOpan boards. they're effectively just insulation compressed to 3/4 thickness but because they have rigidity, fairly light weight and accept acoustic caulking it could be possible to not need any of those 12' wood boards as support and just literally glue them using acoustic / red devil / any 50 year caulking right to the ceiling under a layer of 1/16th MDF/HDF. this simplifies installation a lot, the MDF/HDF/Ply/etc is screwed in the ceiling to create a surface the sonopan can be glued to so later on when i move i can remove it by ripping it off the mdf/hdf as it will be held with glue (caulk), then unscrew those 1/16th sheets, patch the screw holes, done. caviat with this is i'd sacrifice some noise barrier since it'd be pressed on the ceilling but given that its not rigid like drywall, wood, etc and is made of "soundproof" material it would probly not transmit most of the ceiling vibrations (i need to test how good/bad that'd be by tapping on it when i go to the hardware store next time). oh and for covering it up? i was thinking not even using drywall and just paint it? the texture on it is like OBS so assuming primer can bond to it i'd prime and do like a popcorn texture a roller with 3/4 or bigger nap to hide the OBS-like look. so no 12' boards or drywall just 1/16 ply/hdf/mdf, box of short screws, 2 layers sonopan to be sure, quite a few caulk tubes, big nap roller and much easier installation.

    Hello. I have a condo with 8’ concrete ceilings and an upstairs neighbor with tile floors, a dog, and a clumsy 4 year old rambunctious boy. It’s all impact noise from him dropping toys, what sounds like a box of bb’s spreading all over the floor above my head, and the dog chasing his toys. I’ve been nice and even gave them pads for their chairs which are dragged across the floor. They work but soon fall off because they’ve probably been pushed back and forth across the floor the equivalent of the length of a football field over the course of a week. I’ve made suggestions such as area rugs which have fallen off deaf ears. Oh to be deaf! The owner is on the board of the HOA and should know better. I also don’t want to make an enemy of her since I’ll be doing a remodel soon. I’m planning on dropping the ceilings a little more than 3 in with metal furring strips and drywall so I can add recessed lighting. How much do you think this will help with the rugrats noise and is there anything else I can do without losing much more ceiling height. I don’t want it to feel like a cave. Desperate in paradise….

  • @macallanvintage
    @macallanvintage 7 месяцев назад +1

    The proper technical method to use MLV is to ensure MLV is always separated/decoupled from the problematic surface.
    Hence, to optimally treat any floor for max isolation to ensure the floor below doesnt suffer:
    1. Apply rubberised carpet underlay.
    2. Apply MLV on top of No1.
    This will decouple the MLV from the hard floor.
    3. Lay carpet on top of MLV.
    99% MLVs in the USA are made in China, and all China MLV manufacturers will recommend the same 3 step method above.
    Do NOT use MLV on your ceiling because its very heavy. No adhesive can secure it for long if you try to stick it to ceiling to act as a noise barrier (not optimal but effective) unless you have discovered a method to DECOUPLE the MLV from the hard ceiling. This can be done by fabricating a dry wall to COVER your entire ceiling (expensive) where there is a huge air space between your original hard ceiling and the new fake drywall ceiling. Inside this big airspace, you can use wire to suspend 2” of rigid fiberglass (Eg: Dow Corning) and suspend a layer of MLV. This is the most effective way to treat any ceilings and its done in my hifi room.
    As long as you ensure nothing touches the sheet of MLV, you will enjoy optimum results from MLV👍

    That’s not a very cheap process in any case. Ripping up floors can be a substantial cost based on what flooring you’re ripping up just to insulate & lay new flooring down. Adding MLV to your ceilings can be pricey & adding drywall comes w/ the added cost & labor of tape, mud, drywall, drywall knives, caulk &/or foam, the rental of the drywall lift if you don’t have someone else to help, sanding supplies, & paint & associated supplies. This also doesn’t account for any ducting extensions or fixture box adjustments you’ll need to make to accommodate the added thickness of the ceiling drywall by 5/8” like you’re recommending. It’s somewhat disingenuous to recommend all of this & leave a lot of the major costs to DIYers out or your explanation. A more thorough video like what Home RenoVision DIY posted would be better. You’d be better off ripping out the existing drywall, filling w/ insulation if nothing is already installed, installing two layers of 5/8” drywall w/ joints overlapped & a sound deadening material in between. Seal all cracks & gaps & extend vents/fixture boxes where needed. There is no quick way to accomplish this level of sound deadening aside from better flooring above. If you have the unusual ceiling height to do so, you could make a decoupled ceiling like Home RenoVision DIY does w/ a wall, but that would be very uncommon.

    Adding mass and layer(s) of isolation from the top is often the easiest way to make a significant improvement, but not always practical. The way to really address this properly from underneath is to place MLV or strips of 5/8" drywall up inside the cavities on the bottom side of the floor (up against it), fill it with insulation, and then install sound or isolation clips and hang 5/8" drywall (preferably 2 layers) from the isolation clips. Make sure the drywall isn't in direct contact with the walls for best results. Calk the edges, you can tape over that if visually needed. It will be some work and wont be super cheap, but reasonable if you can DIY and the results will be truly amazing!

I'd like to NOT pull the whole plaster ceiling down, but rather, add a layer over the existing ceiling and to ceil over the holes. I play guitar and rather loud music in the basement, which is getting through the ceiling into the rooms above. I'm thinking of using tongue and groove ceiling or even plywood as the extra layer. Would that work to greatly reduce airborn noise transfer?

    Hello, is there a way to soundprove my dishwashers wastewater? It always makes a lot of squarling or slodging noise when it pumps out the dirty water into the house sewer-drain.

      Interesting question. If you have access to the water pipes, you can wrap them with self adhesive vehicle sound deadening material.

    Mr. SoundProofGuy and others, what about placing the sound proofing under a vinyl or linoleum floor? Also ¹if there are cats and dogs that can pee anywhere on the floor is there a way to stop the urine from reaching the sound proof floor vinyl? I heard some carpets have with a liquid barrier.

    Hello my friend, I have some questions to ask you regarding noise above my home, there are 2 types of annoying noise, airborne noise and impact noise, I have a concrete ceiling and my question is Do I know if I can add cork insulation between the vinyl mass glued first to the ceiling and plasterboard drywall "the cork is sandwiched"? Here is the size of the acoustic plaster plate which will be glued with a special glue: width: 60 centimeters - length: 2.50 meters - thickness: 12.5 millimeters and the weight for the plate is 17 kilograms. Do you think this could make noise isolation more effective? Or stay only on the vinyl mass covering + drywall? My second question is to know if the polyurethane expansion foam is effective in filling noise in a Placoplatre wall covered with glass wool but of no effectiveness and I would like to fill in the hollow part, that is to say between glass wool and polyurethane foam concrete wall, can this be effective against the noise from the neighbor above? I give you this in order: placo wall, glass wool, hollow space, concrete wall. I wanted to inform you that on placo walls I would add additional insulation on top at the end for greater effectiveness against noise because it is low frequency noise. This upstairs neighbor knocks on the ground to provoke me and he also connects a low frequency generator above my house and these noises reach my walls. thank you for your answers

      Not really if you feel the noise is too much. But you can buy 2lb MLV with is thicker but more expensive than the 1lb MLV. I’d go with the 2lbs and you should be good.

      There are anti-vibration pads you can buy for them or buy a rubber sheet that the machines would sit on. The latter you can buy in bulk in a roll and layer the rubber as needed or optionally glue onto a composite wood sheet or plywood

    I want to stick some acoustic panels to mass load vinyl and then stick both to the wall.
    Would that be too heavy for the double sided tape to hold up?
    Would cork underlay work also?
