If money is a concern or time is limited, a less drastic, inexpensive approach to soundproofing is needed. Dampening noise can be accomplished by actions as simple as laying down carpet or hanging drapes. Although these solutions won't eliminate all unwanted noise, both are relatively inexpensive and simple.
Another way to soundproof a room is to decorate it with rough-surfaced furnishings. Rough surfaces absorb sound, unlike smooth surfaces, which allow sound waves to travel back and forth. Applying an acoustic spray texture or other rough material to the ceiling, for example, can help soundproof a noisy room.
Walls can also be treated to help make a room soundproof. This usually involves tacking on some sort of heavy material that will block sound waves. The material can range from carpeting to blankets to manufactured paneling -- even cardboard egg cartons are an option.

This site has other ways to soundproof a room also. Just thought I would post cheap ways to do it. Another thing that you could do is staple cup holders, like from a fast food place, all over your walls. Seen it in Hustle and Flow, where they did that to turn a room into a recording studio. My friend actually did that to his bedroom, which he uses as a studio, and it works great! Although it does not look great.
