Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: How to soundproof ... floors/ceilings

[Michael Black (mblack]

A clarification: The acoustical sealant is between the floor sheathing and
the bottom edge of the drywall.

On existing construction one would have to cut and remove the bottom 3/16"±
of the drywall to install the sealant. I would talk to a acoustical
engineer/consultant before attempting this.
