| | sound insulation between them | Explanation:
The basic idea here, as far as I can gather, is that you have a double leaf separating wall (cavity wall) between the different homes. The sound insulation in these cases is in the cavity, or the space, between the two leaves of the wall. This is usually described in Spanish as "doble hoja". The sound insulation itself is usually some kind of mineral wool (a blanket, quilt or panel).
Please note that the term soundproofing, like fireproofing, is falling out of use, because you cannot actually guarantee that a construction is fireproof or soundproof, only that it is fire resistant or has been insulated against sound. |

14 hrs confidence: partitions with sound insulation (batts)
Explanation:
the insulation is INSIDE the partition. I think by INTERMEDIO they mean the insulation is between the two layers of sheetrock/drywall
