As soon as you attach your wall studs to the ceiling (floor) joists above, you will have sound transmission going in both directions. If you want sound isolation, you need to keep the walls free-floating from the rest of the house, and build an isolated ceiling structure as well. (room-within-a-room)

All 4 walls and the ceiling need to be independent for sound isolation.

I also second the comment that you should consider 2 layers of 5/8" sheetrock.
