Reducing sound through a shared wall
Hello! A friend has just completed a 2 unit structure in which a guest bedroom of the main unit has a wall which contains plumbing for the bath and laundry of the adjacent ADU. The plumbing sounds are a lot more intrusive than originally expected, so we're looking for a solution.
We've been told that adding an additional inch of sheetrock [2 half inch sheets screwed and glued] to the wall will significantly reduce the plumbing sounds. This would seem fairly easy as it is a blank wall.
Does anybody have experience with this approach? Any downsides? Any other ideas?
