Hi y'all
I'm soundproofing what was formerly a garage space. The exterior wall has cedar plank on the outside face, so doing double drywall isn't an option as its outdoors.
What I'm wondering is if I could add a layer of 5/8" drywall or plywood in between the studs inside the cavity? Then I'd put in the insulation and add isolation clips/hat channel, 2 layers of 5/8" drywall with green glue for the wall inside the room.
Is there any reason this would be a bad idea? I'd lose a little bit of the air space in the cavity, but would still have about 4" between the inner and outer drywall layers.
Any other ideas how to add mass on that outside wall? The room isn't really big enough for double stud.
Thanks!
