If possible, cut 4" holes in the ceiling drywall and blow cellulose fiber between the floor joists. This will give an improved TL.

Try buying some 2" 703 or rigid rock wool, cover with fabric and attach to the drywall ceiling in a checkerboard fashion. This should improve things and also add a little edge diffusion as well.
