Hello,
at some point, we want to finish our unfinished upper floor, and since I’m willing to learn, I want to gather information early instead of just doing what is common around here without questioning it. Here, wood stud walls with 5 x 8 cm (2 x 3 inches) KVH (structured squared timber) are typically used with the following build-up: 12.5 mm (1/2 inch) drywall, 15 mm (5/8 inch) OSB, 8 cm (3 inches) separation board as insulation, 15 mm (5/8 inch) OSB, and 12.5 mm (1/2 inch) drywall. In the bathroom, 22 mm (7/8 inch) OSB is used so that a heavy wall cabinet with a sink can be hung. I don’t think this is 100% optimal in terms of soundproofing.
How have you done it, or how is it done in your area, and how satisfied are you with it? My partner is rather sensitive to noise.

Doesn’t anyone here have a metal or timber stud wall at home and can share their experience with sound insulation in their construction? Phew When it comes to sound transmission, careful workmanship is even more important than the material itself. The key is to avoid rigidly connecting the wall everywhere. I have seen both timber and metal framing very well decoupled for sound. Even in a high-end audio studio (I used to work in that industry). Whether timber or metal—choose the material you prefer to work with if you’re doing it yourself. If you hire someone, select a company experienced in acoustic construction.
I’m sitting here next to a drywall partition for the children’s room. The construction consists of a 100mm (4 inch) metal stud frame, double-layered on both sides with 12.5mm (1/2 inch) boards, and insulated with mineral wool. Although not everything was perfectly executed here (for example, the electrical outlets on both sides of the wall are positioned exactly opposite each other), I don’t notice any difference in sound insulation compared to the 115mm (4.5 inch) interior walls made of sand-lime bricks.
Almost all suppliers of drywall solutions (Siniat, Fermacell, Rigips, Knauf, Lafarge, etc.) provide brochures on installation, which among other things include soundproofing values for their constructions. Most importantly, they also describe details such as wall connections, decoupling methods, and more. You might want to take a look at those.

I have seen both wood and metal very well sound-decoupled. It couldn't be summarized better. Clean (decoupled) installation is crucial. May I ask what the sound requirements are? Beyond a certain volume, you will always hear something. However, this is independent of the chosen stud material. Physically, metal conducts sound better than wood.Similar topics
