That is why I am linking to my friends website  http://www.tmsoundproofing.com  . He provides almost anything one would need to soundproof a home or apartment.  For example,  you can try his guides at  http://www.tmsoundproofing.com/store/pages.php?pageid=21  or check out his October special at  http://www.tmsoundproofing.com/store/pages.php?pageid=17  . Whatever you can do to enhance your quality of life, especially if you are a senior citizen is so very important.
