RE: [DIY] Sound proofing common walls

Can you just add another layer of sheet rock to the adjoining wall?

you will need to find out what actually is between your houses, as the
adjoining wall is supposed to be a fire break, if it is a hollow wall you
can try blown in insulation, if it is a masonry wall, without tearing off
the drywall on your side and starting over, I guess you could learn to play
the drums...

I am in a Townhome with an ajoining neighbor. I can hear their kitchen
doors slamming and loud talking. One time I heard a guitar being played. I
don't want to bother them, so what can I do that would be a good sound
barrier between our homes? blown in insulation or ?
