    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.

    Good Video- however, if you have squeaky floors, its because of the plywood. I ripped out all the subfloor, put in Roxul Safe and Sound in between the joists, installed a new 3/4" Advantech subfloor, then rolled the Massloaded Vinyl on top and then added another layer of 3/4" Advantech again. I created a sandwhich between 2 layers of Advantech with the MLV.. Results were amazing.

For an aluminum porch/Florida room (attached to home) with sliding glass doors - would you recommend I glue MLV on the outside of the aluminum walls on both sides to block out the noise from neighbors on both sides? or dO I need to glue it inside with dry wall on top? I hope the exterior option is sufficient as the finished look doesn't matter. Interior will cost 3-4X more

    Thank you for advice. I was looking to add some soundproofing to the second floor flooring and will now seriously consider mass loaded vinyl option. 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.

    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?

    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?

    Hey Jeff...just found your channel yesterday and I'm binge watching as much as possible! The question I have is this...I am laying down new subfloor on my whole main floor. This house is 100 plus years old. In your vid about sub floors you say that what is needed is a total of 10 1/8" subfloor. Do I need to adjust the thickness of the new subfloor to accommodate for the 1/8" mass loaded vinyl or do I go ahead and make sure the subfloor is 10 1/8" and then add the 1/8" mass loaded vinyl on top without worrying?

    For low celilings where Resiliant Chanell eats too much headroom: Use Joist Tape on top of Joists before flooring. Use Joist Tape underneath Joists for Ceilings. Safe and Sound between floors. Clay Patch fixtures. Quiet Rock or Double 1/2 inche drywall cleiling with 1/4 inch greenboard (soundboard) type insulation between sheets. Construction Adheasive on all side points where Joist meets subfloor above. Wrap HVAC with roll flashing. Just what I think. Of course MLV under flooring is great IF you donlt have to rip upanything.

      great question. If you have the flooring removed to install this then make sure you screw down the subfloor to the joists. It is most .likely only nailed down and that is the source of the squeak. If that is all you are trying to solve then the soundproof pad isn't necessary. Cheers!

    @richardbrumfield2367 3 роки тому +2

    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? Do a cheap spray adhesive & strips to the back side of the 2nd layer of 5/8 before install? Would this achieve the same results at a lower cost?

    • @chrispurdue5762
      @chrispurdue5762 2 роки тому +1

      This wouldn't do the same thing. Green Glue creates a constrained layer damping system because it is a viscoelastic material. MLV is not.

    I have a double brick-walled house for the basement and first floor. I removed the old subfloor on the first floor and installed two layers of 5/8 tongue and groove with green glue between them. For the basement ceiling I will be using resilient channel or hat Channel with 5/8 drywall for fire separation of the basement apartment.
    The bottom of the joists are of differing heights. What is the best way to shim the resilient channel? Or do the sound isolation clips give you the ability to adjust height?
