Sound travels through denser the medium, the more easily sound waves travel through it. Using some material which has lots of air pockets, such as insulation, works well.

Hi. Try using egg crate material for the walls with fiberglass insulation separating the two layers of the crate walls.

The best material is cotton padding. Regular home insulation does not have enough density. Concrete is better. Styrofoam is also good.

try using just 2 pieces of plexy glass(per side) with fiberglass insulation or some other type of insulation in between.
