We're pushing along on a 3,000SF farmhouse duplex, on a lot that is going to make the building process much more difficult. With overhead powerlines, a foundation that sits a whopping 12" away from a block wall, we've got our work cut out for us.

    Does anyone have a good recommendation on soundproofing without adding a second wall? The architect original drew it up as a double wall, then changed it last minute back to single.. What would you guys do? I'm looking into Rockwool insulation, but in the meantime I'm air sealing from one unit to the next.
  • When I done them in the past,we framed by staggering the studs then weaving insulation through the studs,resilient channel then fire code drywall
  • @EWDAVID94
    it's funny to watch the 3 different techniques you guys used carrying those zip sheets haha
  • Multifamily projects use staggered 2x4 studs @ 8" o/c nailed to 6x plates for their corridor walls. That way the drywall on the inside unit is not attached to the same stud as the drywall on the corridor side. It helps mitigate sound transmission.
  • @andrewcarr2431
    My drywall guy recommended insulation and laminated layers of 1/2" drywall which worked out great in our house between the units. You can go and install those fancy dandy resilient channels which lift the drywall off the wall this not transferring noise, but it has a unique installation system and to be honest the former method works just as well at half the cost. Plus you get the added fire rating which keeps the inspector happy. Happy inspector = easy life.
  • @baggetja1234
    Putting the set nails below the plates on studs is a great tip. I have been framing for 5 years and never thought of using the nails this way. 🙏
  • @KurtMGibbs
    Nick at NS Builders has a couple of episodes showing how they handled soundproofing a shared wall. One interesting thing they used was "putty pads" around electrical boxes to reduce through sound transmission. They also used product called Quietrock and Green Glue acoustical sealant.
  • @montes3of3
    2x6 plates with 2x4 studs staggered to break the transfer of sound vibration from one side of the wall to the other. You're still building two 2x4 walls, just sharing the plates to save thickness.

    Great vid again.. Over the shoulder viewing men at work. goood talk at the end. I approve
  • @T.E.P.
    also sooo great you keep the repetition going even tho you've reviewed it many times since your channel started ... nail patterns ... general build practices ... it's great you always review it for new subscribers tooo
  • @c5tv674
    I can’t stop staring at Beard’s ridiculous tool belt set up...maybe he could jamb a 4 ft level and drywall square in there somehow 🤣
  • @junbarz361
    Best skillful and knowledgeable foreman I've ever saw. I'm not in construction but I enjoyed watching your vlog.
  • @bloody3red
    I like your method on assuring to never miss a stud when nailing a shearwall! Can you please make a video of the installation of apa portal frames and strong walls?
  • @wtrboy4540
    Hey Matt! Great Videos! I enjoy watching them. I just wanna say Thank You for helping me understand, every detail Front to back and why its done that way. Great Work Matt
  • @jngtruong
    Great explanation. Great contents as usual
  • @THEWRENCH343
    We always use double 5/8 rock. A little more material $ but finish is the same cost. Another good weekend with a MBW video! Thank you!
  • @vaewyn
    If you don't want double wall thickness then vertical strapping on the zip and then run resilient channel horizontally to screw your final surface into. Gives a good sound break in just a couple inches of thickness. Extra credit for some heavy felt under the strapping and filling the normal wall void with insulation.
