On the dampening of sound, I once asked my friend in the field of audilogy
about materials to use for such purposes . . . He corrected my ideas which
were somewhat confused with heat insulation and reminded me that it's
density that dampens sound . . lead sheet is good! I'm interested in
something dense, fireproof and cheap . . .Maybe some of this "cement board"
that's used to back plaster and tile would be good.
