I'm hoping to improve the sound insulation on the existing stud partition walls. It looks like they have been constructed with batons 4 inches deep with plasterboard each side and a 4 inch gap of air.
The noise is mostly light airbourne noise so was thinking to remove one side of the parition and infil with something like rockwool rwa45.
Should I use 75mm thick insulation or 100mm? I was thinking that maybe 100mm could be a tight fit on 4 inch deep joists but not sure?
Should I be worried at all about the additional load on the joists this infilled wall would cause?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
