Wall panelling + Wallpaper for sound deadeningd dead

Hi all,

Recently we have had some 'noisy neighbours' move in nextdoor. The issue is the big subwoofer used daily which it right on our adjacent wall in the front room, admittedly I would say from there side it isn't excessively loud, but the bass somes straight through and it plays right into the early hours most nights and with a baby I need to get this rectified.

Can anyone please advise what would be best to do in our front and back room shared wall to block out bass sounds as much as possible?

All help appreciated

"The bass sounds more profound from the side and back of the speaker. . if you can’t get your neighbour to move his speaker, you will need to create a cavity, intron of the wall in question. That cavity will need to be filled with dampening material, then covered with soundproof plasterboard, then whatever finish you want on top. Can be a little costly to soundproof.."

"You can buy sound proof plasterboard it has foam on the back then plaster and paint that should dampen the noise"

"I would probably try and sound proof the adjacent wall with foam back plasterboard then skim it all is probably the cheapesta solution, or using the sound block metal wall studding but it's not that cheap"
