How can you soundproof your house to block neighbour noise?

Living in a 70s built semi and the walls are made of paper (or so it seems). What can you do to soundproof the walls, who are the companies that do it, and how much does it cost?

Answers:
My neighbor practices his KIND of music a lot....it even came thru the ground by our basement.
Now, I am a musician so I know the feeling....LOL...we love our music.

Other neighbors complained so I went and talked w/him. They can gossip, but not do anything!

The next week he soundproofed the room in his basement for us.......yeah, sometimes we get a hint of sound, but not like it is annoying now.

GOOD neighbor.........even tho he "acted like" he was annoyed, I was sweet and they are nice neighbors.

On the other hand, if this does not work???? plant a barrier.........

Other answers:

Do you have a specific soundproofing problem? (Read the FAQ's and Archives first, (see the sidebar), a collection of questions already asked on our Discussion Group Forum).
What is a 70' s built Semi, - is this a party wall , an outside wall, what ?

You know what a Sound Studio looks like, I assume copy it.
Buy the git a house in Germany.
I know this will sound like a smarty-pants answer, but I assure you its not. The cheapest most affordable sound proofing is to do the two step program.

(1) Call or visit the neighbor and politely ask they hold down the noise. If neighbor gets snooty - or says he will and doesn't, then don't visit again and follow step 2

(2) Call the police as often as it takes. It's their job to keep the peace.
Simple ! .....Just block your ears ( try to ignore) as often as you can ! No need to hire a company ...and it costs almost nothing ! LOL !!
ask them if they can keep down the noise. if not maybe you can get a fence/barrier that will absorb most of the noise.
When you are deaf to the sounds, they would not be there anymore. Try it, it works.
foam insulation, spray it into your walls.
