Sound Reduction Paint Coating

Don't know if this is effective, but it is not expensive and might be worth a try - particularly for existing construction.

Sound deadening Paint reduce sound through ceilings and walls, latex coating

From the website:

Acousti-Coat is a heavy bodied, water based flat latex paint formulated with hollow ceramic microspheres, sound absorbing fillers and resins.
Acousti-Coat is for use on interior surfaces including ceilings and walls, plaster, primed metal and wood.
The combination of a high loading of the Ceramic Microspheres with their vacuum centers and the absorbent pigment fillers reduces sound transmission and reflection by 30%. Echo within the room is reduced dramatically.
This product is an easy to apply surface coating and an inexpensive solution for reducing sound transmission.
Acousti-Coat is the ideal paint for interior ceilings, the very high concentration of insulating ceramics and other pigments adds a high reflective heat barrier to the painted surface. The small texture also helps in hiding surface defects such as drywall joints, dings and dents.
Acousti-Coat can be tinted to light pastel colors at your local paint store.

Benefits:
Excellent insulating and sound dampening characteristics.
Fast drying
Dampens ringing and tinning noise in metal structures
Environmentally friendly
Soap and Water Cleanup
Able to be painted over
Non toxic
