What size and spacing of studs would be recommended for a stud wall
10' long by 10' high?

What infill would be recommended to reduce sound transmission (no
thermal insulation required).

400mm centres use soundblock plasterboard available from most builders yards
.. also seen it in bq wharehouse size stores. varies in price where bought.
around £7-9 a sheet comes in 2400x1200 x15mm sheets its also recomended
double layered cross jointed . depends how far you want to go on sound
reduction , there is a resillience bar also available to be screwed to the
studs before plasterboarding . its a crimpled bar that takes the vibration
out of the sound . it may need you to order it from a gyproc supplier
depending where you live it maybe ordered in by your local building supplier

forgot to add ordinary plasterboard can be used instead of soundblock board
screwed straight to resillience bar first layer 25-32mm drywall screws
tacked second layer 42mm drywall screws .

Using a double layer of plasterboard makes a huge difference as far as
sound transmission goes - well worth doing if you want a good level of
sound proofing. Also pay close attention to any other gaps, such as at
the top and bottom of the sheets.

2x4 at 16" with 1" plaster is pretty nice.

400mm centers and 2x4 minimum for a sound proof wall. Use noggins half
way up.

No infill unless you can put sand in. Make sure its airtight and use two
thicknesses of plasterboard each side..

Airttightness will do far more to reduce HF transmission than any
infill. If you want to go even better, get some car soundproofing
material and stick it inside the panels before you sheet the other side.
It has excellent mass and panel resonance absorption qualities.Tat
reduces MF and LR transmission.
