ᐅ Which interior wall material and thickness provide good sound insulation?

kirselWe are currently planning a two-story single-family house with our architect, with approximately 160m² (1,722 sq ft) of living space.
The exterior walls are planned to be made of 36.5cm (14.4 inches) Poroton bricks.
When children eventually reach the relevant age, sound insulation of the interior walls will definitely become very important. Which materials have particularly good properties for this purpose? And what thickness is ideally used for these materials?

What is your architect’s recommendation?

You’re always using your abbreviations. What exactly does “Hochlochziegel” mean?
By the way, the upper floor (OG) is actually the ground floor (EG) at street level, covered by a mono-pitched roof (due to the sloping site). That’s why the garden side has a height of 3.70 meters (12 feet 2 inches). The space is completely open except for the staircase in the center. Interior walls are needed downstairs to divide the rooms. Why can’t I combine Poroton bricks on the outside with calcium silicate bricks on the inside?

Best regards
I'm currently in a similar situation!
According to the plan, the children's rooms are “only” separated by an 11.5 cm (5 inch) load-bearing brick wall. This raises the question for me whether the sound insulation is sufficient.
According to a manufacturer’s page for soundproof bricks (SMZ), it states – quote: “Enhanced sound insulation according to DIN 4109, Supplement 2 (R' W ≥ 55 dB) depending on local conditions.”
Does this mean, conversely, that load-bearing bricks without special soundproofing provide up to 55 dB of “quiet”?
Since I’m meeting with a shell construction company tomorrow evening, I will raise this topic there as well. I will also mention the lightweight construction method suggested by the building expert as a proposal (in case the shell builder doesn’t come up with it themselves)...
Hollow bricks = hollow bricks?
