                      A:  Jeff Thank you for your inquiry. Several factors such as stud size and spacing, wallboard thickness, the addition of insulation and resilient channels all affect sound transmission. USG publication WB2880 is an excellent resource for further information.

                        Answer This Question

                        A:  Bobby Thank you for your inquiry. Sound tests comparing USG Sheetrock Firecode X 5/8" to USG Sheetrock EcoSmart Firecode X 5/8" found the STC (sound transmission class) to be comparable. There is not a significant difference in the acoustical properties of both boards. Remember that the overall composition of the wall or floor/ceiling can affect the STC, including the size and spacing of the framing, whether or not there is insulation and whether resilient channels were used. Hope this helps.
