HI, I am renovating an existing reno in a basement. There are 2 bachelor apts adjacent to each other. There are 2 walls between them. 1 wall consists of 1/2 inch drywall on each side and pink insulation with vapor barrier in the middle.
Should I tear out this wall and put soundproofing insulation in place of the pink fiberglass? Or just put up another layer of 1/2 inch drywall to cut down on the noise? Does r12 fiberglass provide any noise proofing?
The other wall was framed with 2x3" studs and 1/2 inch drywall. I wanted to put in roxul sound/fire proof insulation. Will it fit a 2x3 or does it have to be 2x4?
Thanks
Steve
