Standard drywall provides a basic level of sound dampening but is not soundproof. To improve sound insulation, consider adding denser drywall, specialized insulation, or using resilient channels. This is particularly useful in residential areas around Billings.
In Montana, 1/2 inch thick drywall is the standard for most walls and ceilings. For improved fire resistance or soundproofing, 5/8 inch drywall is often specified. The selection depends on the intended use of the space and local building requirements.
