Looking to sound proof a bedroom floor against airbourne sound coming up from the kitchen below - voice mainly - and need some suggestions. I don't need to worry about impact noise in the bedroom being transferred downstairs.
House is early 1980s - tongue and groove flooring on joists.
I've already looked at people like soundstop.co.uk and at the moment the likely solution would involve something like this - http://www.soundstop.co.uk/solutions/floor_access/under_floor/floor_solution_2.php - with acoustic mineral wool and plasterboard.
Does acoustic plasterboard really cut down on airbourne noise ?
Downside is the fitted wardrobes on 2 sides of the room - I can't remove them without significant damage. How do I lift the boards with them in place ? Do you just cut the flooring ?
