to help at all with noise. Tinkle... tinkle..... tinkle flush!




You can search the internet for sound proofing techniques. One thing that
helps are metal channels that you connect to the studs and then to the
drywall -- this decouples the drywall from the studs somewhat. Better is
this and sound reducing insulation. Better is two walls, with the studs
offset. Better is two complete walls separated by an airspace. Search
for "sound transfer coeffiecient wall" or "STC wall".
