A client has expressed interest in reducing the sound passing between walls and ceiling/floors in their new home. Their home-builder unfortunately ignored their initial request for insulation during construction of the home.
Laminating a second layer to the walls is not presently an option. So, I figure cellulose insulation may be the most practical approach to dampening sound passing through the walls.
Of course, I do not see this as an option for the ceiling. Is spray foam being used for this reason? Additionally, the ceiling is inundated with recessed lighting. Even if the lighting cans were designed for insulation contact, it seems this approach has potential for problems.
Any recommendations or ideas would be greatly appreciated. The goal is not soundproofing, rather to significantly dampen the sound.
