Ply Backing to metal stud

[treasurehyland]

do I fix ply to m studs first then fix the Db plasterboard after, just to the ply where ever or on stud lines ie thru both ?
or do I fix both at same time through to metal studs ? New to this metal Mayhem
Any help much appreciated

It’s a secondary sound screen for noisy neighbours. Siting infront of extg party wall !
Spec given is 50 quilt c70 1/2 ply 1/2 sound board.
I have not heard neighbors last week when skimming the hall stair and landings but guessing they must get noisy later !!

Fix to the metal, hope they are doing below the floor or above the ceiling or better still both

I'd hate to have adjoining walls with neighbours would be banging on wall

Sound insulation is a science and far more complicated than many of us can begin imagine. Biggest problem is when the jobs done the customer turns a radio on full blast and expects to hear nothing coming out.
