Soundproofing a ceiling -- does decoupling really work?

Soundproofing a ceiling isn't easy. The most-effective way to soundproof a ceiling is to "decouple" it from the joists -- a project that involves removing the original ceiling and then building a new one with sound-dampening materials. But even if you decouple your new drywall with resilient channels or furring channels, some sounds might still come through. So, why didn't your soundproof ceiling block all the noise?

In this video, you'll learn what types of noise might not get filtered out by a decoupled ceiling, and why. Even if you did everything right in your project.
