Due primarily budget reasons, here is an alternate soundproofing option that my drywall contractor has recommended for the ceiling of my basement home theater:
1) Install 1 layer of drywall to underside of joists and insulate above with R19 pink batt
2) Install hat channel on this first layer (no RSIC's)
3) Install 2nd layer of drywall by attaching to hat channel
So I know this is a compromise with no green clue and isolation clips, but I'm wondering if this method will offer me some degree of soundproofing or whether this is creating the dreaded triple leaf effect?
Thanks!
