Soundproofing Bedroom

[Jamie P]

So, I am looking to soundproof my bedroom. I do live at home with my parents, and their bedroom is right above mine. My entire house is tile so that adds to the sound issues. I have been doing some research and have a few questions and would love some additional input and guidance as I do this. My goal is to contain sound in my room as well as, and just as important, the vibration and bass sounds from leaving my room.

Some ideas I have;

put another layer of drywall on the ceiling-maybe fiberglass under first layer, or fabric? I have read a lot about Green Glue but would prefer not to invest that kind of cash in to just the glu. Any other ideas about what could be done?

I am going to put some base traps in the corners.

Build some noise absorption panels to hang on my walls.

I do understand I need to take care of my window, and I don't know how I am going to do that because I open my window in the spring and summer time. Also don't know what I am going to do about my door b/c I am sure a lot will escape underneath the door.

I have an open closet that goes straight up to right below my parents floor, so I was thinking about putting up some foam in there?

No easy answer. Keep in mind that sound entering your walls will enter their floor and walls, so treating the ceiling only will provide only partial benefits.

Panels and traps will not reduce the sound from entering the walls and ceilings. Surface treatments treat sound waves that had insufficient energy to "pass through" the walls / ceiling. Surface treatments treat echo, they do not soundproof.
