Default Sound insulation with soft strips?

Sam Takoy wrote the following:
Hi,

I have posted a sound insulation question before a received a lot of
useful information.

I would like to revisit it one more time. I'm trying to sound insulate
a second floor bedroom from the kitchen directly below it. The bedroom
has 3/4 pine nailed directly to the joists.

So I'd like to ask a very specific question. Is there some kind of
soft material that I can add to the kitchen ceiling joists as strips
that will absorb acoustic energy and therefore act as sound insulation
(at the same time not affect the structural integrity of the ceiling
drywall.

Many thanks in advance,

Sam

Rip out the kitchen ceiling and install soundproofing material between
the joists.
