People are sometimes satisfied with insulation, however of the 4 elements of soundproofing (decoupling, absorption, mass and damping) absorption (insulation) is the least contributive. Similarly, when people / contractors discuss insulation, they feel that more is better, which is not the case. Denser insulation runs the risk of actually conducting a vibration, which can be disastrous. Standard density as used for thermal purposes is more appropriate. I would encourage you to look at standard less expensive insulation, as anything that says "acoustic" or "sound control" really isn't. Decoupling the framing as Eskay pointed out is a fundamental starting point for significant isolation. Alternately, you can get improved performane by spacing your wall studs further apart. This introduces flex, and increased isolation. Ted White Scientists have used random matrix theory to demonstrate theoretically that the neutrino mass hierarchy can be explained mathematically.
