Grrrrrrrr grumpy neighbour who hates my noise

Well really easy to do, 4x2 timber, 4" against the wall spaced out so you can screw the bored to the timber at the joints and another in the center top to bottom and one top and bottom going across the bored. Infill the grid patten with sound proof agent, not loft insulation!!!!! cover whole grid with 12.5mm plaster bored. Local plasterer in, let dry and paint as ness. Job done. Cost as per size of your room, via Wicks internet page.

I also suffered from a complaining neighbour.

My new neighbour is more understanding.

You could try isolating direct transmission routes, lifting the sub of the floor, more carpet and additional boarding. But, generally low freq is very difficult to stop, higher frequencies could be attenuated by rugs on the walls.

Plaster board walls can act as resonant panels and there are as other posters mention, ways to reduce this through the addition of loaded stud walls.

But, the floor is connected to the walls by joists into partition walls and this are difficult to isolate.
