David- There are many factors that contribute to STC rating including stud type (wood/steel) depth, gauge, spacing, insulation, resilient channel, fastener spacing, and workmanship. You could expect an STC of 34-37 when using 2x4 wood studs spaced 16" or 24" OC without insulation and a layer of 5/8" Sheetrock on either side. Wood stud 24" OC with 3" mineral wool batt insulation and 1 layer of 5/8" Sheetrock on either side could achieve a 46 STC. The STC of a 3-5/8", 25-gauge steel studs spaced 24" OC with 1 layer of 5/8" Sheetrock on either side would be 40. By adding 3" of mineral wool batt insulation the STC could be 49. USG does not test the 1/2" Ultralight or Ultralight Mold Tough for STC rating, so if you are using these panels, we would anticipate the STC numbers provided would be lower.
Jose- All USG Sheetrock Brand Gypsum Panels, including the USG Sheetrock Brand Ultralight Mold Tough Gypsum Panels are made in the USA.
DIYwannaBe- Please consult with the Authority Having Jurisdiction to confirm acceptability of gypsum board for your application. In many codes, gypsum board (compliant with ASTM C1396) is not prohibited from being used behind shower surrounds. However, there remains the risk of water or moisture getting through panel joints of the surround or where valves and shower heads penetrate the surround. For this reason, more resilient panels, such as Durock or Fiberock are recommended for these applications.

degenr81- Ultimately, the local code will dictate what products can and can't be used for a given application. We would recommend that you consult the local Building Official or Authority Having Jurisdiction to confirm suitability of gypsum board. In many codes, gypsum board (compliant with ASTM C1396) is not prohibited from being used behind shower surrounds. However, there remains the risk of water or moisture getting through panel joints of the surround or where valves and shower heads penetrate the surround. For this reason, more resilient panels, such as fiber-reinforced gypsum panels (ASTM C1278 ; e.g. Fiberock), cementitious backer units (ASTM C1325 ; e.g. Durock Cementer Board) are recommended for these applications.
