Rocksul is the best... but regular pink insulation will offer reduced noise. Probably R-34 is what you need

If you're talking band in the basement then ideally you'd insulate, drywall, gap, then drywall again. Sound is going to dive through your vent.

Kill noisy roommates. Bury bodies in back yard.
Do not install insulation in a rental. That might be a violation of your lease and could get you into trouble.

Egg cartons. My Dad used to be in a heavy metal band, that's what he used. Go to restaurants and local farms if you have any. They normally just throw old empty one's away, and you can score a bunch.

That doesn't work. Your dad is full of shit or too deaf to think otherwise

Just get a bunch of drywall and layer it up.

I'm the opposite, basement dweller with roommates that have a yippity dog which travels through the ductwork.

So far i've priced out about 2500usd in materials for a 10x16 room reno.

Thats also ignoring local code, 7ft basements dont have the height to sacrifice for room in a room construction.

Dogs traveling through ductwork, usually requires an exterminator.

if you're planning to drywall the ceiling, detach it from the wooden frame with these 'metal studs'. Not sure what the English name is, but in Dutch we call it a 'veerregel'.

Don't use cardboard, newspapers, blankets or whatever because of fire safety. You might are able to do it with hay bale insulation. Make sure you use treated hay and not regular because of reasons I said above. Somewhere in the UK they've insulated houses with it and met the fire safety standard. Look into it

the yips sound like squeaks you'd hear from wet shoes on a stores tile floor

In addition to what's been said already I'd suggest a midspan beam to stiffen up the subfloor. Helps cut down vibrations and sound as well providing you insulate properly.
