Hi, i'm wanting to reduce the sound that travels through my floor and was wondering what you could recommend. It's for a new build upstairs extension (2 storey).

I've got sound board on the walls and ceiling. 200 mm fire proof mineral wool in the loft above, and 100 mm of mineral wool underneath the upstairs 22 mm chip board floor.

The upstairs room size (music room/studio) is 7.7 m long and 2.7 m wide. Underneath is a garage and utility room which are divided by a 300 mm insulated wall & fire door. The Utility room has sound board ceiling, garage has 2 layers of fireboard,The garage is 5 m long and the utility room is 2.4 m long. Both are 2.7 m wide.

the garage door is also 42mm insulated.

So upstairs i was wanting to have my music source above the utility room ceiling (2.4 x 2.7 m) rather than the hollow garage below.

What is the best method to stop my music and bass levels travelling into the upstairs floor and sounding loud in the garage area which could be heard outside?

any help appreciated
