Prebuilt Wall Sound Absorption

I have a single wall (with door) separating my garage from my house. I am hoping to reduce sound escaping the garage but would prefer not to remove the existing drywall. Would a layer of either Tecsound or Mass Loaded Vinyl applied directly to the wall help reduce sound escaping? I can put acoustic tiles on top of the MLV or Tecsound mainly for aesthetics as well. I am sure that I will also need to seal the door seams for sound as well but first wanted to know whether the investment in MLV or Tecsound would make any difference on the outside of the wall. If so, is one more effective than the other? submitted by /u/RagnarsEagle [link] [comments]
