Are you feeling well?

That was a very sensible reply, I can't detect any smut :biggrin:
I think there might be a bit on the sheets :laugh:

Yep, I've looked into M F's suggestion, and it looks like what I actually need is 6mm self adhesive foam sheet, it's used in boats or caravans to insulate the heads so the other crew don't get to hear you straining. Amazon do it, worth a punt for £20.

Thanks @Marshmallow_Fluff for pointing me in the right direction

We used to keep out towels and tea towels in there, at the moment they are sitting on top of a cupboard so we are looking to buy a storage unit to put in and the towels can once more live in the cupboard.

Do not fix two sheets of plasterboard of equal thickness one against the other. You need sheets with different resonant frequencies. Fix the plasterboard to a wood at 230mm intervals in one direction and not more than 40mm intervals in the other. Use the pukka plasterboard screws. If you have the room the longer length of the material you fix to should be at right angles to the plane of the plasterboard. Remember that plasterboard reflects sound, so consider what is on the other side of the cupboard - I hesitate to type the word, but woodchip wallpaper isn't bad.
