..i have answered this one many times ..the answers all ways the same ...first do NOT build the wall in timber ..it transmit sound very well ..use metal studs ..available from most builders merchants ..set at 400mm ..infill with rock wool sound proofing bats .. make sure you fill every gap and you buy proper soundproofing bats ..these come in various thicknesses and i would go for 75mm minimum ...the cover wall in sound proofing plasterboard's ...these have a blue edge ..this will stop 90% of sound...polystryene and ordinary fibre glass are a wast of time and money

better loft insulation, could help however, maybe say something to the neighbours, regardless of their age you do need some rest bite.
