And whatever you're doing in the evenings that's

Less coffee, more exercise.

Hehe. Thanks everyone for the advice. I was thinking about something I
can do without putting anything inside the drywalls... Some kind of
self adhesive foam padding I can put up on the wall where the frig is
at..

I am kinda used to it already, so no big deal...


As I understand it, foam surfaces are for reducing high-frequency
reflective-type noise in the same room with the sound source,
and to decouple masses. Massive (heavy) stuff is for reducing
low-frequency transmission through walls.
