The foam panels and Bass traps etc, help control the sound and balance it for a studio but the won't stop the noise from going anywhere else in the house. that said Actual soundproofing gets expensive fast, I built a home studio when I had the current home custom built and they did 6 inch walls with a soundproofing (looks like grey sawdust) and spacers to isolate the studs in the walls. Not cheap but boy did it work still had to acoustically treat the inside of the walls to sound good but it's quiet everywhere else even rocking the marshall or drums. I have heard that they make panels that you can put up like wood panelling that have soundproofing capabilities. Good luck
