It may be concrete....However, your privacy is precious!...Sound is everywhere.....at least the floors are covered..you'll be suprised how much you don't hear bouncing off the floor...Rubber won't absorb all the sound after a slumber jam session....Egg cushion makes a nice squared-off decorative piece to your walls (you can paint it too)...get creative and get to "sleep" without yelling downstairs....Sounds like you are respecting their music before they have it "down" on paper or in your ears.....: )

You'll be much happier.

That is a pretty easy fix. If you have a hammer, you can do it. Usually, you buy the whole section at Lowes or Home Depot. Otherwise, you can buy the individual pieces. Install the horizontal then the vertical. If you have someone do the work, you should not have a very big bill.
