"What kind of batt insulation give me the best soundproofing?" I heard this question a lot, or better yet, "I need to add more heat if I have insulation of walls and ceilings?"

Because of 'insulated fiberglass insulation in the floor above or below the ceiling, sound, transmission lines to break the floor to the ceiling below.
