I would have absolutely sent it back. Mass is the primary driver here. We want to damp the mass, decouple the mass, get some absorption behind the mass, but at the end of the day the degree of success will be largely defined by the...

UGH!!!

Where's the damn dip

The GG can only be deployed between two sheets.

Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!! Use the C.O.S. !!

Recommended coverage is 2 tubes per 4x8 sheet. You can use a 1/2 application of 1 tube per sheet and retain 70% of the damping, with the drop in performance likely evidenced in the LF. You would not use 1/2 tube per sheet.

One tip- you will want as much mass as possible. Double 5/8" drywall is a luxury.

You would likely have to treat all surfaces of a bedroom so you can escape the bass. Same sort of issue when someone lives near a highway (large trucks) or a train. Both will dump a great deal of LF into the house structure itself. The...

As others have said, that LF bass is in the whole structure. Treating that wall won't do much. The problem is the bass wave is entering your whole house frame, and you're only looking to add drywall... the vibration is already in......
