That's what I'm after, got a link to that setup at all?
Will first need details on the rented accommodation, does the ceiling and floor need to be weighted as well ? do you know what kind of wall it has ?
IF its all bricked or concreted, you probably wont have to worry at all. Infact, it will all start off by finding what your neighbours can hear with the current set up.
Maybe there is a shared ducting (air duct) which joins that rooms which might be more of a concern.
Anyway, see if you can be friends with your next doors to see what they can actually hear and where from

You sound like my ideal nightmare neighbour.
Push them to the limit and wait for them to complain.
I tried talking to the neighbours when we moved in, however they weren't interested, gave me a dirty look when I said that students are moving in for a year next door
Oh come on - can you really blame them? Playing host to your student whims wouldn't delight me either.
Use headphones?
I applaud your neighbourly concern.
Neighbour noise used to be a pet hate of mine.
I need to get clear reproduction, can't get that with the sort of headphones I can afford.
So there are headphones that you can use then, clearly.
It will be infinitely cheaper and easier just to splash out on the headphones that give you clear reproduction. There is no cheap and effective way of 'sound proofing'.
There's no way to properly sound proof a room like that from neighbours.. esp while playing loud music at night when everyone else will be quiet.. not worth the hassle.
Only solution is expensive - a room in a room. Even this isn't 100% effective.

Why do you need to do this at night?! I can't imagine you'll be able to effectively soundproof a room so that the music doesn't annoy neighbours, without spending a considerable amount of money :\.
Here's your coat, that was such a terrible yolk
I think the actual answer is it just can't be done. you will have to live with headphones.
lol
you can beat an egg, but you can't beat a.... lol
I don't think you stand much chance of making a meaningful difference. Just be considerate (like it sounds you are). You're a student so do it during the day instead of sleeping (), they'll more than likely be at work I guess.
I did Audio Tech at uni and when I mixed at home I did it in the afternoon after agreeing with the neighbours, basically when they were out. If the neighbours aren't on board it just won't work.
