Hello

We are the proverbial “loud neighbors with teenaged drummer” and we need to sound proof our finished basement.
The walls are the original masonry foundation covered, on one side, with a layer of sheetrock, and on the other with mirrors (all our gym equipment is down there too). There are pipes sticking out in a couple of places, and there are several sliding door closetsincluding the access closet for the electric meter. The ceiling is dropped sheetrock.

Basically seems like a soundproofing nightmare. Is there a way to do this without a) spending a million bucks and b) not ruining the look of the room?

Thanks!
