Green Glue Noiseproofing Sealant
One of several such noiseproofing products that the company makes, including compounds, clips and joist tape — and hey, who can have too much joist tape? — Green Glue noiseproofing sealant fits into a standard quart-sized caulking gun. It can be painted once dry, and is cleanable with plain soap and water. The company is also very proud of the fact that it "contains no plasticizers .. which promotes long life (the sealant will not slowly dry out and crack with age)."
As well, the company charmingly states, it's "economical relative to other esoteric sealants." What we don't know about esoteric sealants could fill a wall with the stuff, but we'll tell you this: $84 for 34 pounds of sealant seems like little enough to pay to block out all that godawful noise ... and we don't just mean sound drifting between apartments, if you catch our drift.
There's a technical library here, if you want to read up on noiseproofing. And by the way, how cute is that street address for a company like this?
