Only homasote anywhere close to me is special order and I doubt they want to do it for 2 or 3 pieces . Any good homasote substitutes?

I live in Texas and the DIY stores do not carry homasote. It is available in specialty lumber yards like in Austin but the price is over $30 per sheet. A forum member suggested wall sheathing(also called sound board) ...$10 per sheet at Lowes. The sound board I bought is black but It covers well with latex paint. It is similar to homasote as it too is a paper product. A Box cutter cuts it easily. You can saw it with power tools too but I think it will create a mess. It takes paint well and it muffles sound well. I put in on top of 5/8 plywood as I do not care for OSB.
