What's the best way to soundproof a room on budget


I'm starting to research ways to reduce sound transmission through a wall since I'll be moving in a few months and my new living space will share one wall with another family. What I am thinking is nailing cork board onto the wall and then covering the cork board with inexpensive foam pyramids. I think I could do thewholewall (8-9 feet high? 14 feet wide) for around $500-$600 dollars going this route. Any suggestions for whats worked for you?

I want to give you some suggestion which is very important for you. I think you can use some of noise barrier material which is most effective for you. I use insulated tarps for me and it is very nice working.
@b_limo   Appreciate your contribution. To have value the batts have to be cut just right to give a secure “press fit”. There will not be any need of support before adding drywall. Ensure the batts are slightly thicker than the studs. The you have the benefit of damping the drywall with the pressure of the batts. All this will pale in comparison to 5/8 Quietrock smply attached via green glue. No nails. If dabs of a different industrial glue are required  for strength, use one that remains resilient. This type of adhesive is readily available. 
If you want to go cheap-but effective. Use 50 year asphalt roofing shingles glued onto the drywall. Add layers as needed. An old favorite of diy speaker builders. Cheap,done right, very effective. Cheers and have fun. Use a heavy layer of plastic sheathing to contain the smell. Decorate to taste. Be creative! Cheers. Pete
Hi, I recently moved to an apartment half a kilometre away from the train tracks and it gets loud at times, so my neighbour recommended to me this noise screen, it was really effective in reducing sound transmission into my house. It is worth the money, aesthetically pleasing and easy to set up.
Hi there. Just a small share.

I remember I had a problem with soundproof with my walls. I have tried different materials to deal with this issue, however, most of them were garbage. I have spend around 500$, just for the soundproof, and was very nervous that nothing works.


But! I decided to follow my friends recommendation and find professionals. Actually, there are couple of really good companies that do provide different variations of sound proof wall cover. The one that I like the most, and one I recommend is this one - wood wool acoustic panel


I very glad that I have used their materials. Try it for yourself!
