My sister just moved into a new apartment and has noticed that sound really travels through the walls. She can hear music (and sometimes even loud conversation) from other tenants because of this.
Of course she doesn't want to return the favor! Is there anything you can do to reduce this effect from a regular sound system?

That's an interesting idea, I wonder how many people actually do something like this for their apartment. I can't imagine a lot of acoustic foam would look good to most people. The decorative stuff sounds good, but would it work well enough to make a large difference? I kind of wish I had tried something like this though, back when I lived in an apartment. I quickly gave up playing music loudly, with the exception of listening through headphones.

Yes, acoustic foam is not the prettiest wall covering. However, it is far more effective than my other suggestions (although they will certainly help), so it just depends on where people opt to compromise on aesthetics versus efficacy.
