I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you’d think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

    Not really, unless the house was built incredibly cheaply with thin studs and crappy drywall.

    Wood is pretty decent at blocking sound – it the voids between the studs that’s an issue. Filling them with sound deadening insulation solves that problem.

    It’s not as good at blocking sound as a masonry wall obviously, but it’s “good enough” at a fraction of the price.
