Resilient Channel Bar for Sound Reduction – Good or Bad?

Will a resilient channel bar help with improving the Sound Reduction of a partition?

While a resilient material for breaking up resonances and dampening vibrations, is a good idea, it usually comes with a bit more planning than usual. A resilient channel bar (as sketched underneath) is a ‘spring-like’ and usually profiled metal bar that will allow the fastened plate (in this case a plasterboard) to hopefully dampen the transmitted sound through the partition.
The keyword is ‘Hopefully’.

Why am I not being specific here? Will it make it better or not?

There is a reason I am not being specific, as the dynamic properties of such a resilient channel bar is not standardized and comes in wildly different and sometimes outright wrong shapes/sizes.
In the end, the ‘resilient’ can just be a sales tactic with no test to back the dynamic properties of the product.

While a resilient channel bar can indeed improve the sound reduction of a partition, it is up to you to make sure that the dynamic properties of the channel bar is comparable and similar to those showcased in studies regarding resilient channel bars for sound reduction.
