through the wall (remember the two cans on a string (well wire actuarially

What is the process to insulate a interior wall with blow in
cellulose? I'd like to insulate an interior wall to deaden the noise
coming through it. I'm not sure if it's worth renting a machine just
to do a wall. Is there another way?


Thanks.

Hello everyone and thank you for your suggestions. I do understand
that heavier and denser materials will not transmit as much sound as
say, insulation, however none of the other suggestions would be
workable. In addition, I'm just looking for roughly a 50% reduction in
sound transmission with somewhat ease and cost, I believe I can attain
that with a insulation filler.

I really appreciate the other suggestions though.
