I also looked at the fact the contractor thinks we can save the upstairs floors and just treat them. That's saving me around 5 grand or more for wood, but it dawned on me those will be teeny tiny thin floors between the tv, kitchen, etc. and the bedrooms. Huh. So I asked how much to put sound insulation up in the ceiling, and he noted less than $1500. I asked opinions, thought about it, and decided it was worthwhile - particularly when Scott noted people have tried to post-op remediate sound penetration (my wording, damn right) for far less. Seems like a no-brainer.
I looked up what I think he referenced, he named the brand name some time ago, lately he just says safesound - Check this stuff out:

Sound and fire! Also, simple and green too. Hell yeah. Happy with this add-on too.
