Need a soundproof wall.

[The Southern Gentlemen]

They also sell insulation that’s specifically for sound deadening, it’s extremely dense works well.

Tell them to stay at a hotel.

Just kidding.

If you're willing to rip out drywall, pretty easy to place acoustic batts.

Sound resonates through dense/solid materials, the thicker the material the less resonance penetration. As has been mentioned earlier in the thread, dedicated sound deadening panels are the way to go - east to install as a DIY project. The individual that mentioned a free standing structure is spot on, if you are truly going after a "sound proof" environment, a free standing / isolated structure is really the only way to go...IMHO

Some great responses here. Both serious and not.

We are building a dog daycare in a strip mall. The wall next to the neighbor's unit is the one that needs soundproofing.

I hear the dog barking down road from me , it's a half a mile. and i'm inside my house.
you better make it thick.

Cool... Looking at a picture of some (one variation) seems to show two separated layers of drywall in one sheet, some stuck together with a polymer glue, some not. Still seems to me just a modern variation on adding another layer of drywall with minimal screws. The basic concept is the same - minimize direct transmission as much as possible.

I would build a wall in front of the 1st one with an air gap and use this product.

When we built the indoor smallbore range at my highschool in 1981, we covered the walls and hung baffles of panels of pressed plant stems (cotton plants if memory serves). Here is a pic of the type of material, but as I said we had panels that were almost floor to ceiling.

Insulate and use 2 layers of 5/8 drywall with glue in-between for a air pocket.
This is the best way.

Question: would that 5/8 drywall setup mentioned above work if you had some expanded foam (like Great Stuff) squiggled out and dried on it, then a second 5/8 screwed to the first board?

Would be prob over 1.25 inch thick overall, front to back.
