I own a house with a basement. Most of the house is brick , except the upper level on the front only, which is sided.
Currently, the basement ceiling has drywall and 2x10. No insulation or other sound ideas.
To keep noise going outside to a minimum, what do you recommend as some options?
I was thinking about insulating the floor with 10" of insulation, but one person told me not to do so, because that will create colder floors upstairs in the winter. True?
after insulating, perhaps vinyl or lead which should help.
then ssclips, or atleast a foam/neoprene between stud and wall.
Anyway the above ceiling will come close to the results of a fully brick house?
btw, how do you attach the vinyl on the ceiling? Is there a way to work with it over your head? Seems like a tough task....
