Sound is transmitted several ways. The insulation you installed might not have been sound-absorbing insulation, which is more dense than thermal insulation, so it may not be doing its job. However, sound will be still transmitted through the joists, and that can be mitigated by installing a gypsum board ceiling, as Home Crae Club has said, on the resilient channels. The thicker the gypsum board the better, and the sound-absorbing board is an option also. But, as HCC also said, the quickest and easiest fix would be to install carpet on a good pad upstairs.
