I understand it's a 2 years old post. Anyone has luck in soundproofing ?

Any recommendation for the contractor in Penang? Many thanks!

remove all the plaster gypsum boards and frames of ceiling
attach/stick firmly and cover all the ceiling with a layer of 2mm or 3mm MLV sheets directly to the ceiling
then build ceiling stud, fill the stud space with rockwool 50mm 60kg/m3 mineral wool at least
then use 9mm at least gypsum boards to cover ceiling stud
then a layer of MLV again attached to the gypsum board again (ensure it is firmly attached and wont drop)

then build ceiling stud again, but this layer leave it with a gap of 6 inches at least with above, fill the stud space with rockwool 50mm 60kg/m3 mineral wool at least again

then use gypsum board to seal the ceiling as per what you have of your ceiling now

Hi liyanakahar,

Is this the common practice in Malaysia for soundproofing?

As to the materials, is there any particular brand / supplier you can recommend for rockwool, MLV and gypsum board?

Thanks!
