The Many ways of Soundproofing There are many different ways we can go about soundproofing your space. One of the most effective way would be to remove the wall or ceiling, close up any sound breaches, insulate, and float the new layer of drywall with residual clips to separate from the studs or rafters. That creates air space that is needed to reduce sound transmission. Quiet rock with Green Glue The other option is to add another layer of soundproofing drywall with on top of the new layer. In between will be a layer of Green Glue sound compound that help with sound transmission. Really just depends on how deep you want to go. Double Walls I think this is one of the beat ways. Doubles walls is a term and method that basically means “room within a room”. It is often used when constructing studios and musical practice spaces. While double walls can be expensive, hard to build and take up some pace, when used with other soundproofing materials, it will offer a full and expansive sound protection. There are other methods that require a spring track that is used to isolate a drywall from other wall construction. This method is tedious to install, but efficiently reduces sound transfer. Caution and precision must be taken when installing because if done incorrectly, it will not be effective. 
Heavy Self Adhesive Vinyl- Office or home adding mass is one of the ways to stop this sound from breaching. Applying a layer of Mass Load Vinyl (MLV) to your walls is a fraction of the cost of traditional soundproofing like off centered stud walls. MLV stops sound vibrations by damping its energy, with its non porous, heavy and flexible material.
