GREAT debate, and ...

... Exactly the question I was hoping to get some feedback on.

I am building, this summer, a room-within-a-room assembly along the lines that Rod recommends in his book:

2 layers of dry wall, studs with insulation, air gap, studs with insulation and 2 layers of dry wall...

Like the fellow who began this thread, I am wondering about cost effectiveness. I have no problem dishing out 1000. for Green Glue if it is indeed the best solution. But - like our curious correspondent - I have gotten a recommendation for QuietRock.

I am off to the GreenGlue site now, but somehow I doubt I am going to get the most impartial comparison there. Does anyone else (who's been down this road) want to weigh in?

I gather that untreated sheetrock - even 2 layers - still carries some of those dread low frequencies. It's only reasonable to wonder if buying a material manufactured for the purpose might be more cost-effective than treating ordinary sheetrock in an expensive and time-consuming way.

"Like the fellow who began this thread"
Either you're skitz or you can't discern "new topic" from "post reply".

... and sorry I posted this incorrectly. I re-entered it elsewhere.

But it's good to know this is an open & shut case. To Green Glue I will go.
