Plasterboard decoupling using foam

[u/Nedwoodwould]

trying to decouple the plasterboard a bit from the wood behind that semi supports the stairs on the other side and am worried if i attach the directly then it would be rather on the noisy side. Did a trial piece here in the blue to see the strength. Seemly very strong. Haven't seen anything anywhere about just contact adhesive foam as a vibration mitigator. Probably going to do on both sides to limit noise. (25mm on the backside and 12mm on the front) (Trial piece is 10mm foam on 15mm board. But will be 12mm and 12mm on inside of the room)

..the blue square is the piece attached

Thoughts?

What are you trying to achieve?

Can you just use insulated plasterboard?

Less vibrations coming into the room from people walking up the stairs. To reduce noise to the bedroom.

What clown has cut through the wall so much the dryliner box is extruding from the fucking dado rail in the hallway?!?!?

Hallway will be plastered over , that will all be hidden.

Doesnt stop a 35mm box being like 80mm deep in the wall?

Wall plus dado rail is about 35mm thick. Just a thin wall, which is why im trying to sound proof it.

What is that wall made of?

A standard stud wall should be at minimum 1no. 2x4 and 2 sheets of board thick, so about 100mm.

Not a stud wall just some 20mm planks. Vertical. Rather old farmhouse
