Default Sound proof existing wall?

First I suggest a stop at:

http://www.soundproofing.org/

Next I suggest several of the things noted and a few more.

Add a layer of drywall. It is usually the most gain for the $$$ Note,
it will work equally good on either side of the existing wall.

Also consider resilient strips to isolate the new drywall from the
existing wall.

Consider isolation the equipment from the structure with pads. Sound
can be transmitted through the framing.

Check and address any free air connections. HVAC ducts and air returns
are big problems.

Remember that sound can go around blocks so look to see what might be
going up and over the wall.

Last consider sound absorbing material for the wall.

We just moved our master bedroom into the room right beside the mechanical
room. Unfortunately, this means that our bedroom is now a little louder
then the previous room. Is there something that I can do to the wall to
sound proof it? The wall that is shared between our room and the

mechanical
room is only about 4 feet long. Is it possible to maybe fill the gaps in
between the studs with something. I would need a solution that wouldn't
require more than a few large holes in order to install it. I'm not in a
position to completely tear up the wall and redrywall everything.

Thank you for any help,
Harry
