I think matresses filter out the sound, and egg cartons, the sound waves like bend through the curves and gets seperated, becoming quieter . the more the egg cartons the less the sound. I'm not totally sure though, read other peoples posts.

Or you could get sound proof walls..but that costs

basically anythign with lots of small cavities inside. i.e. foam, carpet, etc. becaus the sound waves defract off all the funny angles inside the air bubbles and dissipate.

so cardboard, foam (denser=better i THINK) mattresses, bla bla bla.

If you have a bit of money to spare, you could buy some sound proofed pink bats (they're coloured blue) - that would do the job.

Otherwise, anything like blankets, pillows or foam mattresses will quiet things down a bit.
