Great info everyone! Thanks a lot. What type of drywall would you recommend? Should I avoid the kinds that say lite?

It's only a few dollars more and superior at killing sound

BTW the bookcase thing is way cool but I have to assume you would need some seriously stout hinges to pull that off...not your typical interior door hinge...that's an assumption on my part not a given but it does make sense..
Not sure if the Home Depot stuff is the same, but what I'm familiar with is Homasote and is commonly found in good lumber stores. Neither my local Lowes or Home Depot stocked Homasote or an alternative, but was able to find it at a local 'real' lumber/building goods supplier.DON'T USE DRYWALL ...The drywall concept will totally help but THIS will increase the resulting sound deadening much more.
Your Home Depot link took me to my local HD store and showed the soundboard as 'unavailable'.
That's funny. It did the same for me. So when I clicked on the "More" about the product, it said: "Shipping Not Available For This Product".
Does anyone know anywhere else where I can get the sound board sheets?
Same. So I went to both Home Depot and Lowes yesterday,
Does anyone know anywhere else where I can get the sound board sheets?
