we bought an older house built around 1947. I am going to be adding insulation to my exterior walls, as they currently are uninsulated and we can hear a ton of outside noise. my options:
1) cut out sheet rock middle of wall and place batt insulation and then replace/ repair/ and repaint
2) Blow in Insulation

I am leaning towards option 1, and am trying to decide If I want fiberglass or mineral wool. but I could use some feedback.

I don't know anything about price or quality but I've seen these guys advertising lately RetroFoam

Apparently they can inject expanding foam in to the cavities with minimal damage to drywall or siding.

I saw some of their ads, Theyd have to remove brick and nonsense. I think Id rather just patch whatever holes in drywall and then Paint

We have a house around the same age. Previous owner had someone fill the cavities with blow-in insulation. From the looks of it, they could core out a 2" hole in the siding between each stud cavity and blow up the the cavity til it was full. I assume they did the patch on the siding afterwards?

No mess inside. I'm sure the insulation has settled some since then, but no issues with sound transfer.
