Does sound absorbing foam work?
The short answer is No. Unfortunately egg box type foam does not stop sound transferring through your wall from your neighbour or from leaving your room.

Foam does not Block Sound Transmission Even covering the wall 100% with 2” thick foam is not going to, to the extent of the person’s expectations, stop that sound from traveling right through the wall. Acoustical foam is porous and does not block sound simply because it is porous which allows sound to pass through.

Are these auralex wedges made by Sweetwater?
These are purported to be manufactured by Auralex, but I have bought other Auralex wedges with the same description from Sweetwater (tried to save $25 this time, which was a mistake), and they were not the same.
