How do you use resilient bar to soundproof a room?
Resilient Bars are essential to help bring suspended timber floors into compliance with the building regulations for noise control through converted separating floors for flats. Used in connection with other sound insulating materials we supply, the bars will create an effective acoustic break between the bottom of the existing joists and the ceiling. If not fitted directly beneath the floor joists, Sound Reducing Resilient Bars can be supported by 50mm square battens screwed to the underside of any existing ceiling. (See installation instructions above). Plasterboard is then screwed to the corrugated section of the bar using our self drilling screws and for best results; two layers totalling 30mm thickness should be installed. Alternatively, two layers of 12.5mm plasterboard Sound Block can be used. A greater sound insulation improvement can be gained if a min of our Acoustic Mineral Wool (AMW50) is installed between the battens before fixing the plasterboard. When installed beneath an existing ceiling with AMW50 and 30mm of plasterboard applied, improvements in both airborne noise and impact sound would normally be well in excess of 300% this can be further enhanced if our Acoustic Membrane is sandwiched between the plasterboard layers.

I created a timber batton frame using 2" x 2" timber attached to the bricks, then put insulation blocks between the battons (you could also use insulation rolls but it's more difficult to handle) & finally covered the walls in plasterboard nailed to the wooden frame, I don't think just plasterboard alone will provide much sound proofing.
