During the installation of my home theater Ceiling (Drywall), with no soundproofing materials above it, since it is in the third floor with nothing above my HT, I tried to test it by pounding the ceiling with my fist everywhere, and i did notice some sound coming from the suspension in some areas. so i got worried that i might hear the same thing during some heavy action movies!
The contractor (obviously) says that there is no way I could hear that during the movies because pounding has different affects than what big Subwoofer or LF, and there is nothing else to be done for the ceiling as they are properly installed with nothing loose or something. but i dont really want to take that risk as i have OCD with things that rattle in my room during movies!
So I need to test that because removing the drywall and re-doing things again now will be much easier than later.
What would you advise me to do, should i bring my laptop and try to run sine wave to test it first, but keep in mind i have to bring my laptop "loaded with REW", AVR, & Subwoofer, connect them in unfinished and empty room to test the rattling because pounding test gives you a good indication of any rattle issue? or what my contractor says is correct?
to give you an idea, check the photos below which show you how the drywalls are hanged (which i believe were properly installed) and the second photo shows at what stage is my drywall now.
Thanks and appreciate feedback to sort out this issue
