"Sound-Proofing A Room"

I'm not allowed to play guitar in the house, as our walls are literally as thin as paper, so I have to practise in my drummer's garage or elsewhere. Now, my brother got a lot of money this Christmas and he wants to buy an Electric Guitar (Yes, a Fender - he can't play worth a damn) and he's a little too stupid and a little too vulnerable to be going out on his own, or so my dad says. My parents offered him the option of sound-proofing a room, so they wouldn't have to put up with the "noise", as they call it. I like the idea, as that means I can play in the house too, but here's the problem - how much does it cost? Can you DIY? Thanks. Mark.

Where am I showing off Mystique? Just quote the part in a reply and explain. I am simply asking a question, not boasting about my music "talents", as some call it.

I mean something that my parents will allow me to and something that will not stink to high-heaven.

God I need a flat.

i don't know how you would do that, though tell me if it's cheap i might do it for my room they make me turn the amp down and now that ive got a distorter for electric guitar i need to have it loud, i just can't work with it low

I need to re string my e string, can't be bothered right now though

Egg cartons apparently do work, but I'm not sure how well. I can't see them being very good...
