The previous owner tore down a wall and made an arch. I want to have an extra room again.
Where I'm sitting with the camera now should have a sofa, and the 70" TV should hang on the wall.
The global economy has gone down the drain, and even though timber prices have recovered a bit after the pandemic, everything is expensive nowadays.
What would be the most economically reasonable approach concerning material choice and execution? Since the TV will be against the wall and sooner or later the kids will stay up later than I do (the room being built will probably be my bedroom), I want it to be as insulated as possible. I suspect the other walls in the house are built of matchsticks and paper...
Everything inside the arch is blurred so you won’t have to endure what I have to clean up after the kids before I go to bed.

Will you have a door in the wall that will be built up, or will it just be a solid wall with entry from another place? Double drywall soundproofs better and is cheaper than OSB+drywall. But if you're going to mount a TV on the wall, it's good to think about where it will go so you can place studs to screw into. Fill the wall with something like stone wool. OSB+drywall makes it easier to hang pictures, etc. A wall-mounted TV will transmit sound into the adjacent room more than if the TV is on a TV stand.

However, if you're going to mount a TV on the wall, it's good to plan where it will go so you can place studs to screw into. Fill the wall with, for example, rock wool. OSB+plasterboard makes it easier to hang pictures, etc. A wall-mounted TV will transmit sound into the adjacent room more than if the TV is on a TV stand.
The door is a half arch where the TV is hinted to the right in the blurry picture, so it's fine.
I understand that a wall-mounted TV transmits sound more, but it's for space reasons.. can any type of insulation in just that wall provide additional noticeable dampening?

Of course, you should fill the wall with insulation. Stone wool has good properties for just sound damping. You could also put up an acoustic panel behind the TV, which is trendy right now and looks nice. If you want to go extra far to soundproof, there are ways to make a so-called sound-rated wall. But it costs more.
