Acoustic Ceiling Tiles

[Pengh]

Anyone have any experience with dealing with Ceiling tiles? Right now I just have some standard Tiles that you can probably get at Home Depot or something.
I found this website... Would this be a good Idea??? If so which set should I purchase?

If you need more transmission control, ceiling tiles aren't going to give you much. Better (and MUCH cheaper) to lay some R19 on top of your existing tiles.

If you're looking to try and make the room *sound* a little better, I'd go with rigid fiberglass... Armstrong makes them (also at Depot, Lowes, etc.) in 1/2" faced on the down side.

Not trying to sound proof, just trying to make the room sound a little better... So what your saying is, lay down some rigid fiberglass on top of the celing tile faced on the down side (fiberglase side down)???

If you're looking for absorption, lay regular R19 on top of the existing tile.

If you're looking to change the characteristics of the room and how it handles low end, you can go with rigid fiberglass tiles. You could still put more insulation over them.

But if you're looking to change the characteristics of the room, I'd start by putting bass traps in the corners first.

One more question... 2 of my surrounding walls are mainly just dry wood, should I treat those 2 wall with something? Probably sounds stupid I know... Do you have any links that would help me out??? Thanks by the way.

I'd start with (F. Alton Everest) "The Master Handbook of Acoustics" and a couple sites...
