Green Glue and Wall Channel

Have you used the GreenGlue system in your music room? I am designing a dedicated music room for my new house and the back wall of the room will share the wall with our family room. I want to reduce sound transmission as much as possible between the two rooms.

I like the looks of the GreenGlue system that uses two 5/8" layers of sheetrock separated by green glue, hung on their noise proofing clips on metal channel with a 8" wall built with staggered wall studs.

Have you tried the GreenGlue products? How did you like the results? While I want to reduce sound transmission between the shared wall as much as possible I do not want to mess up the sound of my dedicated listening room.

I used Green Glue on the ceiling when I finished my basement for a theater. It does a very good job of stopping everything except low bass. The bass gets through the ceiling, through the joists I presume. Your staggered wall should help reduce the bass significantly. There is a lot of discussion on using Green Glue in the Home Theater section of AVS Forum. Unfortunately, I have seen a lot of discussion on sound isolation but very little on the effect it has on the sound in the room. You might check the AVS Forum, since it has been a while since I followed that forum.

It sounds like you have done your homework, but if you need more information check out this website which discusses various techniques and products.
