buggs1a.......Do you own or rent this apartment? If renting, whatever you end up doing should be temporary and removable without damage. You also need to be realistic. You will never be able to "soundproof" an apartment. Soundproofing is complex and requires a purpose built enclosure. This is not obtainable in an apartment.

There are any number of options available that can help absorb sound, although the majority of them work primarily in the midrange frequencies. Low frequencies below 150 Hz are far more difficult to control. You may want to look into sound absorption panels. There are also sound absorption blankets that can be temporarily hung floor to ceiling without damage to the walls. Sound absorption blankets are not very attractive though, and can make a room look like a padded cell.

You may want to seek the help of a professional acoustician. That initial investment will help you focus your time, energy, and money where the best results can be achieved.
