Comment	This is how to do it. I did a LOT of research into soundproofing when I was setting up the acoustic treatment for my home studio. It worked out far cheaper (and better) to add new layers on top of old. The floor was much easier than the ceiling for obvious reasons. I would also say make sure you include an air gap. So, batons slightly wider than the foam panel so that there is a gap of air between the foam and the new gyproc. A lot of sound acoustics guys do it like that. Without the air gap you still get some sound bleeding through through via acoustic vibration. Having an air gap further dampens the travelling waveform of the noise.
