    Apparently one of the best ways to soundproof a ceiling is to fill the gap between it and the floor above with about 2 inches of sand. It is supposed to be extremely effective though I haven't tried it yet so can't say myself. Has anyone used sand for soundproofing? Sounds about as cheap as it gets...

    For sound proofing the heavier the better. More mass dampens sound better.

    You could get sound mats and acoustic insulation, here are some products moy materials have:

    The only experience i have with it is in college projects so i've no idea how effective it is.
