Insulation under shower tray

[realtek]

I'm about to install a shower tray onto a plywood base upstairs.

Is it a good idea to keep insulation between the joists like there is accross the rest of the upstairs and also around/under the shower waste?

That's what I have done for now as I guess there could be condensation if I don't and also maybe noise below when the shower is on.

However, when you look at it if there is ever a leak it will become very wet. But perhaps its normal. Looks like its Knauf Eko Roll or similar.

Thanks

It will provide some sound absorption. No reason not to.

Resolve the leak and it will dry out

.... or make sure it's installed properly and there shouldn't ever be a leak

Thanks, perhaps I will just stuff it with paper towels instead just incase

I’ll crack on. Thanks
