I’d like to see the screw after it is applied. Its unclear what is taking place but I suspect @ millercarbon & @ oldhvymec have some good points
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.
