Party wall Sound proofing
Discussion
Hi all,
We live in 30's house with a solid party wall and i'd like to add some sound deading material to the party wall in the bedrooms when we come to do them in a few months. I won't go into why we need it because it's ranting and will divert from this thread but it's all loud shouting at kids and vice versa rather than base or thumping. We're getting both rooms plastered when we do it so happy to take it back to brick and put something onto bare brick but i don't know where to start.
Happy to do the work myself unless it's just some specific plasterboard in which case i'll get the plasterer to do it but i've got no idea where to start looking as the google searches i've been doing haven't brought much back.
Has anyone done this shed any light on material & method they used?

Thanks for this. I've got about 50mm of wall I'm willing to lose as I can go back to brick.
Floor will have thick underlay and carpet on it, I'm not keen on taking floors up to get to joists but I know where your coming from. I have £100s to play with rather than £1000's and I guess I am not looking for total loss of sound just fairly well insulated so it muffles them and doesn't wake us.
We don't want to move but might have to but then again kids could leave in 5 years roughly so a stop gap might help us.
