Hi, I´m considering two options in order to isolate CR from the noise generated in the LV. Both of them are based on the Two leaf principle:
Option 1:
15 cm Brickwall
15 cm airgap (leaf to leaf)
2x6 wood studs (filled with insulation)
3 layers of 5/8 drywall (this is 5cm of drywall)
Option 2:
15 cm brickwall
5 cm airgap (filled with insulation)
15 cm brickwall
In general terms, which is these two options would be better at soundproofing in general terms. Based on what I have read, the second option would be better because it has more mass but the airspace is less.
Which barrier would be more soundproof?

It appears that you've made the mistake most people do. You started building without consulting this forum.
