If you're trying to isolate a washer/dryer remember that a lot of that noise is probably coming through the floor. Working on isolating their vibrations and directly insulating the pipes in the walls might be more effective than going nuts on wall construction.

This is an excellent point. I think simple offset studs and double drywall is a cheap and easy approach, but I agree that could all be for nothing if vibrations through the floor and pipes aren't addressed.
