Is the ceiling in a lower floor of house? There is probably no insulation. One way to get insulation in is to blow it in through holes. They will have to be repaired later though.
Is there an attic or access above? If so, that’s the easiest, just add more insulation. If not, it depends. The more soft goods you have in a room like pillows, curtains, rugs, etc., the more sound will be absorbed. Adding soft materials to the ceiling will help.
Hi! Insulation is easy to install if you have access to the open rafters above the ceiling. If you don't, is it because of an upstairs neighbor? Or noisy kids upstairs? Carpet with a thick pad on the upstairs floor makes a huge difference. There are also acoustic ceiling tiles and such. If it's your home, you might consider having foam or fiber insulation blown into the cavity. The more sound absorbing materials you add to the space, the quieter things will be. Good luck!

Hello. Carpet squares will cut down noise. Or you can also add another layer of drywall to reduce noise. Good luck and Happy Holidays.
Hello. To improve or soundproof an ordinary drywall ceiling, you can fill the ceiling space with a suitable insulating or sound-absorbent material such as fiberglass. Owen Corning R19 fiberglass is suitable or mineral wool and rockwool.
Hi there,
Insulate it from above, or on top and then clad it over. Hope that is of help!
You'll need to use insulation as stated by a few above.
You could put insulation in the ceiling that would help
You can put sound proofing foam up but you will see it. If you have access to upstairs a carpet or rug will help
Can you access from the attic area? If do, blown insulation would help with soundproofing as well as temperature control.
Insulating it from above
Is there an attic or access above? If so, that’s the easiest, just add more insulation. If not, it depends. The more soft goods you have in a room like pillows, curtains, rugs, etc., the more sound will be absorbed. Adding soft materials to the ceiling will help.
You can use styrofoam sheets.
