Inside stuff
This is the steel stud wall behind the kitchen wood stove. It has concrete board on the other side and will have concrete board on most of the bathroom interior. This does two things. First, the wall probably has about a four hour fire rating. Second, rock wool is incredibly sound deadening. With my downstairs bath/laundry right next to the kitchen/dining area, it seemed like quiet might be nice.
The areas above the wall are also stuffed with sound proofing (pink fiberglass) to stop noise from leaking through in those areas.
Pink can be stuffed. Not so easy with rock wool.

Here's the concrete board in the shower stall. The floor pan is cast into the concrete slab and is hydronically heated.
