    Hat channel and sheetrock works great. The latest Fine Homebuilding had a short article about gypsum board designed to reduce noise transmission.

    I second Adam's hat channel suggestion.  Fiberglass batts do a little bit to slow down noise, but not much.  A second layer of sheetrock in addition to hat channel may be your best bet.
