[QUOTE="Fred Willis, post: 217351, member: 16053"] It's a stud wall, 5 1/2 inch studs between townhouse units, I'm gonna take off the drywall and put 1 1/4, maybe it's 1 3/4 MDF and pieces of 1 3/4 solid core doors between the studs ( I work at a door company). I think the question is I would expect to want to fit the MDF between the studs as good as possible. That might not be what I want to do. I might want to leave an 1/8 or 1/4 gap and fill that with acoustic caulk. Green glue on the side of the MDF facing the other unit. Any other suggestions for improvements? The drywall will go back onto the stud, use green glue there I'd think. [/QUOTE]
