I have an apt. in my dtr's home. In the bedroom I have a wall that backs on to a powder room.I don't need to hear some of the noises I hear so, what can you suggest I can put along that wall that would cut down on the sound, and yet not be too invasive (that is not make too much of a mess)
Answer:
Sound proofing a wall or ceiling, I’ve found, is best done by creating a sandwich with lots of bulk. I apply 5/8” gypsum board (roughly taped, jointed and sanded) to the studs or joists and then 7/8” sound absorbing fibrous panel manufactured for the purpose. On top of that, I apply resilient channel (16” O.C.) and then another layer of 5/8” gypsum board. This time the gypsum board is properly taped jointed and sanded.
