Your experiences with soundproof drywall panels?

mathematically and objectively

"Volume", "loudness level" and "loudness" are, after all, subjective sensations. You must not make the mistake of lumping together the human perception of hearing with the measurement quantity sound pressure. Even sound pressure as a sound field quantity is something different from sound intensity as a sound energy quantity.

That is why I wrote that a sound that is actually louder might not be perceived as disturbing or that one subjectively perceives it differently...

I couldn't have explained it better than MayrCh. I can't say from home who finds which sound more disturbing, but if you want it quiet, you should do something about it and make sure to dampen the sound as well as possible. What I meant is that 6-10 dB may not sound like much, but ultimately every dB counts.

Normally, you wouldn't use any adhesive at all; you first put the first board on, fill everything, and then put the second layer of boards offset on top. Watch the videos on the Rigips Austria page or search for the RigipsAustria channel on YouTube; there you will also find a comparison between the construction of Duo'Tech boards and normally double-layered walls, and the sound insulation is also explained.

Hello,

we are planning a new build of a single-family house (1.5 stories) in solid construction. After the floor plan was finalized, I noticed today that the interior walls in the attic floor are shown as drywall partitions on the plan.
So far, I have always assumed solid built walls, as stated in the construction description. Now I wonder, does a well-insulated drywall partition offer the same sound insulation to the neighboring room as a masonry wall?

I would prefer that the children do not wake up because we watch TV in the bedroom or someone is showering in the bathroom.
Can someone give me an answer here?

Best regards
Torsten

It depends on the type of construction; drywall partitions can often be superior to solid walls in terms of sound insulation. You only know your construction specifications and have surely reviewed them thoroughly.
