Sound Barrier...


I'm looking for some VERY effective sound barrier material, preferrably in a light beige color, that I can cut to size and staple-gun it to the ceiling. Cost is an important consideration as well.

I need to cover ~150 SQ FT of ceiling.

I have searched the web and found MANY options. So many in fact, that I'm left scratching my head wondering which way to go. Please advise. Thanks!

You may find some sound absorbing materials that will reduce acoustic reflections from the ceiling, but none of them will be effective enough to appease your upstairs neighbor. For such a purpose, you will need a thicker, structurally decoupled ceiling with sound deadening materials within it.
