If you think 7' 10" is bad. My future HT site is only about 6' 10" after flooring. I'm not even going to try and decouple the ceiling, except for gg and a thin second layer of drywall.

I've been toying with the idea of some rubber strips between the joists and 1st layer of drywall. About 2 inches square, about one foot apart (with glue sticking them to the joists), and about 1/2 to 1/4 inch thick. I know it won't be as good as the Soundproofing companies products, but can't help but think it would be better than not doing this. Not to mention a whole lot cheaper. This would decouple about 90% of the ceiling.

Something like this that can be sliced up into 2 inch squares.

Sorry, CV, your message was meant to go before mine. I just took a long time writing mine.
