Where the level of noise from the neighbouring wall is extreme, the erection
of an independent stud incorporating acoustic materials will provide the greatest
level of wall soundproofing. The stud constructed of metal ( componenets sold on this site or of 75mm * 50mm timber
(3 inch by 2 inch), should be erected off the existing wall with a minimum
of a 25mm gap. The stud work should not touch the offending wall at any point,
and should be affixed to adjacent walls floor and ceiling. The stud work should
be in-filled with the appropriate thickness of acoustic mineral wool, i.e. 75mm
in this case. The construction on the stud wall follows the same pattern as
the the other wall solutions ideally incorporating resilient bars (like Solution
2 and Solution 3) and certainly a double
plasterboard layer. With this construction the filling of floor and ceiling
voids with acoustic mineral wool (AMW60 100mm) immediately adjacent to the offending
wall needs to be considered as this will typically be the weakest acoustic link
post construction. In order to keep the wool in place it might be necessary
to staple chicken wire or similar meshing to the rear of the stud work.
This construction can further be upgraded with the optional use of an acoustic
membrane.
