I am about to build a new home. Some sort of sound proofing would be
nice on the interior walls. Does anyone know of any new products or
techniques that could be used at reasonable cost.

Good old fashioned fiberglass batts seem to do pretty well, and are
likely to be as cheap a solution as you're going to find.

SAB, Sound Attenuating Blankets, which are slightly denser than
standard glass fiber batts are a start.

Look at Flanking Paths: electric boxes back to back within a stud
space, gyp board not sealed at the edges, ducts that give a path from
space to space.

In that regard, one of the most effective techniques, albeit somewhat
more expensive is to use 2x6 baseplate w/ alternating 2x4 studs so that
there's a break between the two walls.

I've been in some labs with sand-loaded walls -- nice and quiet!
