>the kind of noise reduction normal wall construction give you?
It's virtually nothing. Both wood studs and drywall panels are very rigid, so they transmit sound easily. If you want to stop sound transmission through a wall you need 2 layers that are not physically connected to each other in any way. Either by just building 2 walls with a small gap in between them, or by building a single wall with alternating studs (so no studs are shared by both wall surfaces) like in the attached pic and pack the cavities with fiberglass insulation to dampen vibrations in the unsupported sections of drywall.
