Do I just buy sheets of egg cup stuff and stick it on the wall or is that a load of old rubbish? |  |

Problem with most sound proofing is its superficial. Depends on your problem- but generally, to do it properly, you need to have space between surfaces. You can stuff a stud wall with sound proofing, but the sound will travel through the battens and studs... |  |

Sound proofing to be effective ideally needs a combination of soft and hard layers, as Sparks (I think) said any solid layers as fixings will transfer the sound.
Ideally you want to stick something soft to the wall, something hard to that and keep going as deep as you can. |  |

You can improve things - but only so far without a gap. Clever soundproofing systems separate the two surfaces but are far more hassle. | |

Nah. Just badly soundproofed ceilings in my house. Though i have researched home atudio stuff and have done a fair bit of home recording. Acoustic tiles are to kill echo and standing waves rather than block sound. Though they will absorb some. | |

It's just plasterboard with a 30mm polystyrene layer stuck to it.
When my builders suggested it I dissed it but they said it was only £1 extra per board so whats to lose.
I could no longer hear next doors TV through the wall so RESULT!! |  |

You ought to be careful asking how to do things ‘relatively’... we know what your sort are like... |  |
