towards a quiet house:
"fiberglass.." i am assuming you mean fiberglass batts laid on top of the room flat ceiling, as in the attic space.
i like/ need quiet interior space. if we decide to go 2 story to get the view, i am actually worried about the household noise echoing, esp., top floor foot traffic. coquis are loud enough but at least they are a natural sound. most smooth surface finishes, even glossy paint adds to echo. i just realized that metal cabinets will echo!
what else can i do to control generated noise, echo, etc?
does the "quiet rock" sheetrock help much?
