Okay, well the 5/8" rock went up with the green glue (2 tubes per 4x8 sheet). So far the results are mixed, but it's only been 2 full days and nothing's been taped yet.

Voices and music are greatly attenuated. However, bass is not. There's a range between 60 and 500 hz that seems to still get through pretty loud. Again, only a few days have passed. We decided not to blow through the insulation for a couple of reasons: one, the paper stuff is completely dry and I read about major settling problems (the wet stuff cures and is much better but that's for new construction). We also did not want to fiddle with fiberglass there.

Will the taping and mud help things? At what point will we know if the green glue helped? Thankfully he obliges us by being noisy all the time so I'll know when it starts taking effect (grand theft auto part last night at 2 am -- closest we came to calling the cops, but miraculously we fell asleep).

Also, if there is transmission through the floor or ceiling, what can be done about it? We're getting new carpeting, so I will have access to the subfloor for a while.

Thanks.
