Foam sealant or backing rod between sparse paneling and interior wall? Stop noise and mice project..
I have set up a new sparse panel and soon there will be drywall installed.
Mice and noise have been issues here before.
In a previous discussion with you, it was mentioned that you can put a thin layer of insulation on this side of the condensation plastic as long as it is no more than 1/3 of the total insulation. Something like that, someone interested in sound wrote a bit about this last time.
Let's say the mice get through the plastic, run on the drywall, I want to prevent them from being able to run past all the interior walls. So I installed noggings across the interior walls.
Then I thought I'd improvise with this idea of having insulation on the inside because I can't afford and don't want to insulate all the ceiling surfaces, so I thought I'd put maybe 40-50cm of insulation just against these noggings on both sides.
But... There were gaps between the interior wall and the nogging... Considering using expanding foam there... However, it's said that mice eat that too unless you buy the special expanding foam that Anticimex uses that tastes bitter.
(modular home, hence my interior walls look strange with sections within sections)
what do you think about these gaps... what works best I wonder... wool or expanding foam... maybe I could use latex too but I heard that mice actually find that tasty...

If I apply expansion foam between the battens and the inner wall, is there a risk of squeaking or anything else occurring?
Is it better to insert insulation or something else?
