I might add one thought. If this was a lath and plaster tearout
it is probably 3/4" thick. There used to be a fiber board called
Celatex that would deaden it some. It's 1/2" thick and drywall
1/2" thick would lose you only 1/4". Plain old fiverglass
insulation in the wall will help some but nothing I can think of
is going to help a lot. I don't even know if they still make
Celatex or not. If you haven't seen it, it looks like it was made
out of horseshit.
