I am getting ready to move to a home that will be very close to the neighboring home and I will have to do some sound proofing for my audio room, what would be the best product to use on 150 year old single pane windows to prevent sound transmission? Also it has plaster walls, can quiet rock dry wall be installed directly over plaster? What would be the best thing to use on the ceiling? Rooms will have 11 foot tall ceilings It has original hard wood flooring, I am assuming carpet with a premium carpet pad will be called floor. Also not too certain what " green glue " is that folks put between layers of dry wall. |

Test-drive the house prior to making any changes. |

If they come running, you'll know you need sound treatment. |
