I have ripped off the drywall to my master bedroom. Of the four walls, three share the outside of the house and the fourth shares a wall with my great room / movie room. The old drywall had wall paper directly on the wall boards with no prime in between so it is easier just to rip off and redo. During the redo stage, I am planning on using insulation sonobatts in between the walls. However, I don't think this will be enough to keep it quiet in the bedroom when the wife goes to bed early. We are also planning on placing a crib in this room for the baby to sleep while we still entertain in the great room, so sound proofing is a necessity.
I am not considering green glue / double drywall, stagger studs or an extra wall due to space constraints. What other options are out there that you guys have used that are reasonable and work fairly well. Note the Studs are wood.
I have read about the asphalt type matting that can be applied under the drywall, would this suffice and if so where is a good place to get it.
I am considering a MDF type heavier door with a gasket around the door and blocking at the bottom.
I am also looking at something under the carpet to aid in sound blocking from below the floor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
