[TheForge] Acoustical baffling

[Ralph Sproul]

Hi Don,  I've had occassion to put sound proofing up in different locations.
One method I used was staggering the 2 x 6 studs on a 2 x 8 plate and
shoe......and then weave the fiberglass insulation between the studs prior
to sheathing.  This cuts down lots of the sound transfer from solid studs to
solid sheet.

I'm sending this private and on list to see if it goes thru.  Lots of my
posts get bounced from QTH.
