Rock wool and fiberglass are great sound insulaters and anything that is rough is also good like spray on foam or carpeting. You install fiberglass or rock wool in your dry wall but that would having to tear it out or you could make holes on your wall and fill it with expandable foam. but the most non invasive choice is to just tack carpeting or a blanket on your wall. However the latter wont insulate as well as the former choices. Carpeting on the floor and ceiling would also help but spray on foam would probley be easier if you are doing the ceiling.

∙ 11y agoTo stop sound passing from one place to another, one should use massive impermeable materials, such as lead or concrete or gypsum wallboard. These are known as sound barriers.
To prevent sound from bouncing round inside a space, then light-weight, porous materials should be used, such as fibreglass, foam plastics and similar. These are known as sound absorbers.
A good sound barrier will reduce the sound level between the spaces by 106, 60dB.
A good sound absorber will reduce the sound level in the space by 10dB, 10-1
Sound barriers and sound absorbers are very different materials, with very different applications.

What is in an example of a good insulator?
A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it. Air, cloth and rubber are good electrical insulators; feathers and wool make good thermal insulators.
Are diapers good insulators?
diapers are good insulators because they hold in the cold and and heat but is a bad conductor
Is water a good sound insulator?
A vacuum is a great sound insulator. Materials that absorb energy such as wool are good insulators as well. I heard of a silicone adhesive that transformed acoustic energies into heat - that was a good insulator if it was used to glue two sheets of something together.
Are towels good insulators?
Yes they are.
Are train tracks conductors or insulators?
The rails are good conductors The wooden ties they rest on are insulators
What are some good insulators?
plastic, paper, wood, cardboard, and rubber are all good insulators
What are some good insulators for a thermos?

What causes some materials to be good insulators of electrcity?
O
Why are plastic good electricity insulators?
Plastics are a good electrical insulators because they are insulators. Electricity could not pass through them unlike copper. Another good example of insulators is rubber.
Name 2 insulators?
Insulators are materials or substances that do not readily allow the passage of sound or heat. Two examples of insulators are glass and porcelain.
Why are blankets good insulators?
Blankets are defined to be insulators.
What kinds of materials make good insulators?
There are a number of materials that make good thermal insulators. Blankets and pockets of air make good thermal insulators for example.
What are some kind of insorlaters?
Examples of some good insulators include, but are not limited to:airplasticrubberfibres and linens
What are some good insulators that people use everyday?
plastic, wood, cloth
What are the similarties of heat and sound insulators?
The similarities between heat and sound insulators is very small. [The names are imprecise.]A Sound Absorber, to give it its proper name, is usually a light fibrous material such as cotton waste or open-cell foam. It is possible that the sound level in a room might be reduced by perhaps 10dB or so by the use of sound absorbers.Porosity is often an important property of a sound absorber.A Sound Barrier on the other hand stops sound from travelling from one place to another. Mass and non-porosity are the important properties of a sound barrier material. Concrete or drywall board are quite good sound barriers. A good sound barrier will reduce sound by about 50 dB or so.A heat insulator is a material with low thermal conductivity.Porcelain, or mica sheet are good heat insulators. A Vacuum Flask is a good heat insulator.Often, but not always, a high melting point is an advantage.
Why are Popsicle sticks good insulators?
If they are dry they would act as insulators.
