[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 217353, member: 172"] Hire a qualified acoustical consultant to provide construction details. From your post, it sound like you are trying to increase isolation between spaces. To do this, you need to eliminate paths for sound to travel between those spaces. This is normally done by a combination of eliminating air paths, eliminating vibration paths, and adding attenuation (absorption) to the paths that remain. There's also things like local building codes and fire codes that need to be respected, especially since it appears you're working on the wall between units. For commercial office buildings, it's pretty common to see interior walls filled with fiberglass insulation to increase the sound isolation between adjacent rooms, but there are certainly other techniques that are also used where high isolation is required.
