I agree, so I think doing some sort of soundproofing would be beneficial. 

Nothing too crazy but I might just add an additional layer of 5/8 drywall. 

I'm closing on my first house hack in 30 days (not counting or anything).

It's a 3 bd 2ba condo and each room shares a wall with each other. 

My plan is to rent the additional 2 rooms out so is soundproofing something I should be worried about?

According to my HOA, I will have to rent the rooms out for 3 months or longer so quick rentals like Airbnb's isn't really an option and I would prefer to have tenants sign a 1yr lease anyway.

Should I just make house rules and call it a day or is this worth the investment? 

Just to clarify,

Bedroom 1: shares one wall with the living room & one wall with bedroom two

Bedroom 2: shares one wall with bedroom one & one wall with bedroom three

I have a 3 bd 2ba condo and I'm looking to soundproof the shared walls in between the rooms. A total of 3 walls. 

what is the best way to do this? I want it done right as this will be a long-term rental if everything goes as planned. 

Based on my research here is what I am thinking I should do.

Remove the current drywall | Add Safe n Sound Insulation | add 1lb MLV |Sealant around the walls and outlets | Fire wrap around the outlets then add 5/8 drywall. 

Do you think I need to add MLV on both sides of the walls or just one? 

Any tips or recommendations?
