For a legal basement suite, Safe'n'Sound is worth the extra cost because it significantly reduces noise between the basement and the main floor. It works even better when combined with resilient channel and two layers of 5/8-inch Type X drywall.

A simple social media post could be:

Building a basement suite? Don't cheap out on the ceiling. Pink fiberglass is made for thermal insulation. Rockwool Safe'n'Sound is made to reduce noise, is fire-resistant, and creates a much quieter home. Spend a little more now—you'll appreciate it every day.
