When I had my separate recording facility, I had fiberglass panels on the walls. One day, one of my curious kiddos jabbed a drum stick through a bunch of them when my back was turned, which left fiberglass exposed for them to touch. This tells me that fiberglass on the walls in their home is a HUGE no-can-do.
So I started looking. I found a company called "Bonded Logic", who makes acoustical treatment out of recycled denim. It's safe to touch, which is good, and it's tough as nails. It's apparently 33% more absorbent than fiberglass, and they sell it at the hardware store down the street. They have regular bats of insulation that you can put in your walls, with R13 being 3.5" ad R19 being 5.5". They also sell boxes with 6 pre-cut single square foot panels that are 1" thick, which I found for about $20-box at Menards near me.

Anyway, I wanted to share. This stuff is comparable in price to other insulation products used for acoustic treatment, but safe to touch with zero itch factor. May be what you're looking for.
