    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
