I created a timber batton frame using 2" x 2" timber attached to the bricks, then put insulation blocks between the battons (you could also use insulation rolls but it's more difficult to handle) & finally covered the walls in plasterboard nailed to the wooden frame, I don't think just plasterboard alone will provide much sound proofing.

∙ 16y agoThe best way to soundproof a garage is to use Fiber Glass insulation, air tight bags (trash bags) and possibly carpet(or cardboard). 1. You place the insulation between two layers of either cardboad or carpet. 2. You seal it with Duct Tape or some kind of super glue. 3. You encase specific sections in trash bags. 4. you put it up. Easy and cheap. Works too. It will drown out most of the sound. It also prevents the FGP (fiber glass polution).

What do elephants use there sound for?
For the last 15-20 years, researchers in Africa have been identifying sounds that are common in different groupings of elephants. This is proof that elephants do use their sound for communication, which is what most, (if not all), mammals use sound for.
How do you use resilient bar to soundproof a room?
Resilient Bars are essential to help bring suspended timber floors into compliance with the building regulations for noise control through converted separating floors for flats. Used in connection with other sound insulating materials we supply, the bars will create an effective acoustic break between the bottom of the existing joists and the ceiling. If not fitted directly beneath the floor joists, Sound Reducing Resilient Bars can be supported by 50mm square battens screwed to the underside of any existing ceiling. (See installation instructions above). Plasterboard is then screwed to the corrugated section of the bar using our self drilling screws and for best results; two layers totalling 30mm thickness should be installed. Alternatively, two layers of 12.5mm plasterboard Sound Block can be used. A greater sound insulation improvement can be gained if a min of our Acoustic Mineral Wool (AMW50) is installed between the battens before fixing the plasterboard. When installed beneath an existing ceiling with AMW50 and 30mm of plasterboard applied, improvements in both airborne noise and impact sound would normally be well in excess of 300% this can be further enhanced if our Acoustic Membrane is sandwiched between the plasterboard layers.
Can you use adhesive to secure foil backed plasterboard to an existing plastered wall?
yes u can use pinkgrip or gapfill that if the walls r straight
How does sound proof glass work?
Sound proof glass is actually two panes of glass that have a vacuum between them. Since sound is a wave, it need a medium through which to travel. That's why astronauts can't talk to each other in space without the use of microphones. With no atter, sound can't be transmitted. So the vacuum between the panes of glass creates an area of nothingness where sound cannot be transmitted, and makes it soundproof.
Why would someone use garage locks?
Someone would typically use a garage lock to keep their garage locked. The intended purpose of doing this is to keep unwanted people from entering the garage.
Do you need new concrete poured for a garage to be built or can you use existing foundation?
If the condition of the existing foundation is determined to be sound for the LIFE of the proposed structure and the proposed structure does not exceed the limitations of the existing structure. (example- putting a 2 story garage/apt on a foundation designed for the load of a one story garage)
What is the best way to fix battons to a plasterboard wall?
Depending how strongly they must be fixed I would use plastic or alloy EZE-anchors.
