Hello, I am moving into a bottom apartment in a month. The people above me are college kids who make a bit of noise. How would I go about soundproofing the ceiling so that I can get some peace and quiet and at the same time make a little noise too? The only common wall I share is the ceiling so hopefully that makes it a bit cheaper. The tenants above me say that their apartment is around 900 square feet if that helps. My budget is around $400-$500 and I would like to order supplies from this website, all I need is someone to point me in the right direction.
Oh and did I mention that the apartment allows dogs? Is there an economic way I could reduce the noise? (I dont need to stop it completely but just reduce the barking)
Once again, thanks for any advice!!
