9:56 is where to start watching for the sound proofing solution. Mass loaded vinyl. 1/8” thick and 1 lbs per square foot. Heavier is better so 2 lbs per square foot is better. Purchase in 25’ rolls.

Thank you for this honest video. You nailed it when you said that a lot of people are getting paid a lot to sell the Roxul hype that is ineffective. You are also the first person to accurately explain the types of sound transmission (outside of the professional audio industry). Mass loaded vinyl is a proven product that has been used for many years.

Skip to 9:54 if you're simply curious about the material used.

thank you for this candid video

Hi Jeff, I enjoy your entertaining and informative DIY videos. Although I'm not doing any DIY projects, when I watch your videos, I could at least "vicariously" do DIY projects. Anyhow, on this topic of soundproofing a ceiling against impact noise, you had a shorter video where you first said that a "usual" way to do this is to hang dry wall and then hang another sheet over it, which was covered with Green Glue (@$40 for each 4' x 8' section). You estimated the cost as around $9,000 for professional installation. Then you suggested a much cheaper and more effective way, which was to treat the floor upstairs by placing carpeting over thick sound absorbing padding. Where is this video? I need to show it to my friend who is actually considering the "usual" way to stop impact noise from the ceiling. Thanks, Jeff. And keep up the good work. (If anyone know where I can find this video, I'll be happy if you tell me.)

Awesome video and instruction! Thank you for your generosity honey! xoxo

In my 850sqft lath & plaster house with solid wood doors we have to yell at each other to hear just the next room over. It's awesome. Redid all the wiring and plumbing and kept everything intact because we did NOT want to deal with the nightmare of removing plaster. I'm getting good at working with mud as we go around and refinish all the rooms/patch the holes lol

Omg... I understand why his family wants soundproofed rooms!

I appreciate your video. Great information

I use wet poured rubber, on top of the rubber 1 inch osb boards, and parquet with impact sound insulation. Poured rubber is cheap and it compensates for the unevenness of the floor.

Hi Jeff. You really captured my attention when you started talking about the example of rental unit 00:05:00 however during the rest of the video what you recommend by changing the flooring above and applying MLV would only be applicable in the case of a house you own. What would be the recommendation when the people above/below your rental unit are other families?

Hi Jeff. Quick question: Does this vinyl roll have any VOC's in it? My concern about vinyl flooring is whether or not it has an odour as I'm really sensitive to it. If it does have VOC's, do you know of any soundproof flooring alternatives that won't stink? Thanks in advance!

You sir, have earned yourself a sub.

Great vid. I will say though, rockwool does help significantly over nothing at all. Definitely not soundproof though.

Like always good job 👍

Thanks for the video - so do you put the mass vinyl directly between plywood and the linoleum, tiles or luxury vinyl plank?

Hi! thank you for the information, would this work from room to room? if you put it before the sheet rock on the sidewalls?

Jeff, assuming one could actually afix MLV to the underside of the joists (staples and a lot of help?) and then drywall over that, would this be an effective solution? If possible, this seems like a happy medium between removing and reinstalling the floor covering on the floor above or spending $17 per sq foot on the ceiling below.

Good Video- however, if you have squeaky floors, its because of the plywood. I ripped out all the subfloor, put in Roxul Safe and Sound in between the joists, installed a new 3/4" Advantech subfloor, then rolled the Massloaded Vinyl on top and then added another layer of 3/4" Advantech again. I created a sandwhich between 2 layers of Advantech with the MLV.. Results were amazing.

Living in a second floor condo, would taking up the flooring, adding insulation from above and using MLV be sufficient to sound proof noise from below?

Did you end up using the mass loaded.vinyl on the floor how did it turn out

That is so true about the rockwool and drywall being ineffective for sound proofing. I have 3/4" ply subfloors. I put R32 for 10" studs and 1"pink XPS over that for a ceiling in our cold room which in below the back rec room upstairs. You can still hear noise. For 20$ a square foot I would rather install lead sheeting underneath!

Hey Jeff, you talked a bit about resilent channel in taprevious video but in more recent ones, you are using "hat" channel to decouple the drywall. Would using insulation + hat channel + 2x 5/8 X-Rated be a good solution to cut the noise from upstairs if you cannot redo the flooring ?

Air tightness, mass and layering with air gaps. That's the order of most effective ways to soundproo :)

Thanks for the info Jeff! Any idea where I can get good price for mass loaded vinyl? (Mtl, QC)

Great, easy to understand video! Can you paint these for a better aesthetic look?

Is sound insulation also good heat/cool insulat.

Ive done a lot of soundproofing work in the past, however, I recently had a friend want to use OSB for a permanent floor. His question to me is if he could use MLV between the 2 layers of OSB. Im not sure how that would work especially when it comes to moisture control and the thought that it would not be decoupled from the structure. Any thoughts, thanks.

Hey! Does TMSoundproofing ship to Toronto, Canada? When I click the link it only shows the continental US.

Any advice for soundproofing and insulating folding garage doors beyond cutting foam panels?

Hey Jeff - if I am pulling up subfloors in order to insulate for temperature then relaying subfloor and adding hardwood floor - where is the best place to put the MLV? can it go directly underneath hardwood or should it go under the subfloor? Thanks!

Hi, Very nice and informative videos. You are very good, detailed and knowledgeable about your stuff. In your opinion, can I use high density foam tape in between the point of contact of HAT CHANNEL & the joist and then screw in the hat channel directly on to the joists? Sound dampening clips are too expensive ($6.00 or more) and by putting foam tape in between the point of contact will probably be less than 1/10th of the cost. With your experience, do you think it will work?

-i live in a house that was built in the 40's and it has lathe n plaster = the density eats up sound BUT NOW MY BRO HAS GOTTEN INTO VIDEO GAMES AND DESPITE THE DAMPENING THE SOUND GOES UP AND THROUGH AIRDUCTS SO I'M HERE RESEARCHING :)

Do you need an underlayment like QuietWalk when using MLV on the floor and going over with vinyl planks? Or will just the MLV work?

Hi Jeff, thanks again for your videos! You're a pleasure to listen to and I appreciate all the useful information. Can you tell me where you bought your MLV? Thanks again:)

Super helpful thank you!!

and now the home office soundproofing factor is greater !

Thanks for the video. very helpful. For an aluminum porch/Florida room (attached to home) with sliding glass doors - would you recommend I glue MLV on the outside of the aluminum walls on both sides to block out the noise from neighbors on both sides? or dO I need to glue it inside with dry wall on top? I hope the exterior option is sufficient as the finished look doesn't matter. Interior will cost 3-4X more

Is MLV the best soundproofing option for new engineered wood floors? Thank you!

No matter what you do sound transfers through duct work. The only way to really stop that is to have separate duct systems between floors.

Can you put MLV on the ceiling before adding 5\8 drywall? I live in a condo. What options do I have with an existing ceiling?

Any comparisons of the mlv vs the rubber underlayment Trademark offers?

I am currently building an apartment in the attic of one of my rentals. It’s our first time using Mass Loaded Vinyl. I was wondering if there is any advantage in installing the MLV between the subfloor and the joists, instead of between the subfloor and the vinyl plank flooring. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Is this method useful in sound proofing noise from downstairs to the upstairs room? For example: The floor level is the living room with TV and speakers. Above the living room is the kids bedroom. Will the mass vinyle installed in the kids bedroom block the sounds coming from downstairs while watching a movie for example?

Does this change anything in how you install flooring over top? Does it need to be glued down before putting flooring on top? I have a basement suite and I’m planning on redoing the floors on the main level so I have the opportunity to add insulation or soundproofing

Thank you for advice. I was looking to add some soundproofing to the second floor flooring and will now seriously consider mass loaded vinyl option. Instead of going 3/4" solid hardwood as I originally planned I may get 5/8" engineered hardwood with 1/8" mass loaded vinyl which is typically 1 lb/sf. Even though 1 ponds per square foot of additional dead load may sound as a lot of extra weight this is only 150 pounds for a 150 square feet room. You don't recommend using QuietWalk underlayment sold by Home Depot for soundproofing he floor/ceiling?

Hi, I have a project on an old Victorian flat and want to do my best to minimise base transferring through the old floorboards. There is ash between the floors but it’s an old property and we can hear everything from above. My plan was to use green glue joist tape. Then screw the boards down tight and seal all the gaps with acoustic sealant. Then 1/2 inch plywood screwed to that. That makes up subfloor, decent acoustic underlay and hardwood will be on top the finished floor (probably floating). Would you recommend sandwiching a layer of MLV between the floorboards and ply?

My garage has a table saw, a band saw, a dust extractor, sanders and more machines of the same kind. How do I sound proof it to avoid sending high pitched noise to the rest of the house (ceiling and 2 dry walls)? Can MLV help?

good info

Can I use this as underlayment for my new vinyl flooring?

thanks for highlighting a better and cheaper option! for my project i'm more concerned about sound transmission the other direction. from my garage shop to the upstairs living space. i'm assuming the MLV will be a good thing do upstairs, but pondering additional components. hat channel. possibly installing sound board to the under part of the upper flanges of the TJI's before insulation etc. also no can lights. those seem to act as megaphones! any thoughts you might have would be highly appreciated! thanks for the good video/info.

Great tips. Where is your link to laying down mass vinyl?

Maybe late to the game here, how’s it work under 3/4” solid wood? My contractor says because I’ve planned for 5” wide planks the bond with glue and nails won’t be as strong to the 3/4” OSB subfloor. Thanks, love your vids

If the vinyle plank that I'm buying has a built in pad on the underside of it already. Is it a good or bad idea to add this roll of pad as well under it? I've read somewhere that it might be too much padding and bend and crack at the joints when u step on it.

What about soundproofing a 1970s mobile home to outside (just the bedroom)

So what can we use to dampen the bass drum/foot fall noise on the main floor above a crawlspace...but do it from underneath?

Great suggestion! It would have been nice to have heard the chair upstairs slide over it tho. I wonder how quite this would be if you put it undernearth carpet underlay/carpet.

Hey Jeff...just found your channel yesterday and I'm binge watching as much as possible! The question I have is this...I am laying down new subfloor on my whole main floor. This house is 100 plus years old. In your vid about sub floors you say that what is needed is a total of 10 1/8" subfloor. Do I need to adjust the thickness of the new subfloor to accommodate for the 1/8" mass loaded vinyl or do I go ahead and make sure the subfloor is 10 1/8" and then add the 1/8" mass loaded vinyl on top without worrying?
