Hi UK builder here, fibre glass mineral wool does give a little sound insulation but it is poor, rock wool is a little better and so is loose lay material. Insulation board works OK as well ( polystyrene board )The thing you are looking for is Acoustic Insulation, B&Q used to have some but I dont know now. We fit this a lot and the last lot I got was from Warren Insulation. Bought some from Wickes last year also. It is like rock wool but more dense and comes in the block sizes.
