Not convinced so called acoustic board works any better than decent

"soundblock" plasterboard is about 30kg a sheet compared to 24kg a sheet

Quite. Either thicker than normal plasterboard, or a double layer.

Two layers is what I have always done in these situations.


I'm butting up to a door casing, can't get away with doubling up, that
was my first instinct.

I'd be surprised if anything the same sort of thickness as plasterboard
would make much difference in practice - short of lead.
