Answer 1

Ask your building supply places, there, where you are.  I believe there are sound-proofing 4 X 8 sheets that you can re-do your walls with; then leave the windows closed.  

Answer 2

As with all sound insulation projects it is very important to try and introduce a resilience (a springy) layer. In this solution resilient bars are the method of decoupling the wall that you are constructing from the transmission wall i.e. the problem wall. Resilient bars are used in conjunction with acoustic mineral wool slabs and battens. The resilient bars should be attached at 400-600mm centres starting 50mm from the floor. Fitting Instructions

Resilient bars can serve to upgrade an existing stud wall or may be used on brick party walls. In terms of the ideal combination we would suggest the following construction. It should be born in mind that different combinations of materials can be used according to space and budget constraints.



The results achieved by this construction type are excellent. As with soundstop panels acoustic insulation incorporated into floor or ceiling voids maybe necessary. The simplest method of adding acoustic insulation here is to add AMW 60 kg slabs of 100mm completely filling the void beneath floor or ceiling just adjacent to the wall.

Answer 3

fasten foam rubber or styrofoam to all of your walls and cover it with blankets or any other heavy material.

Answer 4

You can put a thin layer of sheetrock over the rock that is existing Good Luck

Answer 5

Carpet is a good sound proofing system. You might be able to tack some up and then when you pull them down you can Spackle the holes.
