Isolating the Engine Room
In the engine room an ideal ceiling would provide attachment points for a drop ceiling. This would require spring hangers (or even rubber engine mounts) capable of withstanding high accelerations of mass to avoid detaching the ceiling in a capsize. The attachment points should be 100-200mm long. Attach two layers of non-combustible panels bound with viscoelastic glue. Several marine-approved panel materials are available.

Where the composite panel meets the walls, prevent flanking noise leaking through using a flexible acoustic strip such as neoprene.
