I think I saw where they spec’d, for "steel studs"
Not with the center self countersinking head just under the spring. That’s for a wooden joist, stud or noggin

Spring-Loaded Screw Turns Drywall Into Sound-Absorbing Panels
This looks promising for a 9db reduction in sound escape in homes.
Apparently the spring loaded screw acts as a dampener of sound vibrations that hit a regular dry-wall.In principle, the screw is split in the middle with a spring placed inside. The screw tip goes into the wooden joist, the head holds the plasterboard in place and in between a thin resilient mechanical coupling that prevents the sound waves from advancing is formed.
They have patents and are looking for mass production.https://www.akoustos.se/
I’d certainly consider it for renovations and new builds.

View link in new window while you read 1:The screw thread goes into the wood. 2:The bottom cup also countersinks itself into the surface of the wood 3:The spring section is within the drywall chalk section 4:And the last slightly wider head is suppose to hang on to the whole sheet weight?????? (to me, not for long it wont unless maybe there’s one at max every 2ft) and those things don’t look cheap. https://ibb.co/s2498dg Cheers George |
