If you could at the very least get some sound insulation that would be the easiest low cost upgrade. Otherwise what some guys have done is to have cellulose blown in the wall cavities (do this before any finish work). I am not sure but when talking to Roxul they recommend having their insulation batts installed such that an air gap is left between the insulation and the room wall. This may have something to do with decoupling the vibrations.
