Sorry - I'm sure that this must have been discussed at some point. I'm really very ignorant about acoustic treatments - I know nothing about this subject at all, and have never had to deal with it really.

While I play my electronic stuff at very reasonable volumes, the next door neighbor has complained, and while I feel pretty righteous about the volumes that I play at, at the same time I'd want to cause him as little annoyance as possible.

What could I put on the adjoining wall to block the transmission of sound, especially the bass register? I'm looking to get this done cheaply, and with a minimum of skill (I'm pretty inept when it comes to putting stuff together).

Hope that the question isn't too silly.

Thanks.
