I put in a suspended ceiling in my basement. To control sound between floors, I added fiberglass batts in the joists. Now I am questioning that approach.
I would like to avoid fiberglass fibers finding their way through cracks in the ceiling into the rooms below. Any time a panel is moved or bumped it could allow a flurry of fibers in. (I admit to being a bit obsessive about this, but that's the way it is.)
I could remove the bats, and let the carpet above and suspended ceiling handle the sound control. I could replace them with something else (foil coated polyurethane sheets?). I could lay plastic on top of the ceiling tiles. I could paint the ceiling. Spray foam is too expensive.
Anyone with experience in this area?
Thanks!
