Resilient channel may be used on wall and ceilings to hang drywall over sound board insulation inside the z profile. Resilient Channel is a specially-formed, sturdy metal device that, when used to hang drywall (instead of just attaching the drywall to the studs or joists), greatly improves the sound transmission characteristics of the wall or ceiling system. Resilient Channel should be installed horizontally at the bottom and top of your wall, then every 2′ or less in between.
