Can you do something on the other side of the wall????

Did you even bother reading the first senrence in the O P ???? I suppose he
could buy the house next door...LOL...

He could own the entire building. He may be the landlord.

It would be very unusual to buy half a house, and rent it out.

Happens all the time. Think semi-detached homes.
Or 1/3, 1/4, 1/6 etc. Think urban row-housing.
Or 1/20 or more - think Condo complex.

Personally, though, he is wasting his time. Unless he adds a thickness
of sound-deadening matieral between the masonry and the drywall, all
he's doing is giving Home Depot more of his hard earned money.

However, if he insists on going forward with this asinine idea, he can
just use liquid nails or equivalent construction adhesive.

And give home depot a lot more money than he would using the "right"
material - the setting compound.
