Basically, your material has to absorb the sound.
Lead makes a good material- it takes a lot of energy for a sound wave to pass through a sheet of lead.
If you can't afford lead, or it is too heavy to use, use layers of material with different densities (sound waves lose energy at interfaces (the place where different materials touch).

or even better a sheet of cork with a layer of leather over it an then plasterboared
