I recently saw an episode of Holmes on Holmes and he was dealing with sound transfers between Semi-detached houses and the results he had using a system like this, or this system, were very good, dropped the sound levels to below audible levels.

I saw this as well, he really pushed the staggered studs. The drywall he used was along the same principal but a specific brand that cost 10X the price of regular drywall. It basically was 2 pieces of drywall laminated together with the green glue/caulking stuff. An interesting thing he mentioned a few times was when nailing in to it to not take the nails out but rather push them in to keep the seal.

Is it just me, or does that sound like Victorian murder mystery porn?

The cheapest (and likely) route for me to go is to put Safe & sound everywhere in the ceiling joists and then use some acoustic barrier around the HVAC returns, as well as some of the spiral insulated pipe material from owens corning inside some of the heating pipes (especially those that open up in the basement ceiling).
Unfortunately, this is about where my budget is as double drywalling and green glueing, even after taking out the insulation values, is still way over budget.
I'm just hoping what I plan to do as stated here is enough to at least keep the noise down significantly from not doing anything at all.
