Gilles,
They say that the expandable foam type insulation in the stud spaces makes a good sound barrier. I know that R-19 with sound board over it works good too. The only real problem with either method is that the sound can be transfered through the actual stud it'self. That's why we stagger 2x4's on a 2x6 plate to get the best sound resistance.
Good Luck,
Ed. Williams
