Garage ceilings require 2 layers of 5/8" if there is a living space above.

Not a bad idea, but not required from what i have seen in my state (idaho has lower standards generally, so im not surprised.)

I have never seen double layers of drywall.

I used double layers on my HVAC air handler closet along with an insulated steel door for noise abatement, and doubled the sheetrock on the bathroom walls as well for the same reason, along with insulating both sets of interior walls. Very quiet now, it was worth it.
