None of that it's going to help much. You need a true sound barrier a true sound wall. Actually there are types of sheetrock that you can buy that are expensive but it's perfect I've used it in rentals but nothing will be better than a staggered stud wall with no contact but then you have still noise over the talk and under. I've insulated a lot of apartments in my life. The next best thing of course is the arrangement of the rooms kitchens should be back to kitchens and generally a living room to a living room bedrooms always on the fathests side of the house. The common party wall should ideally just contain the stairs and a hallway

Yes all that is true but using blown in insulation is cheap and easy to do. The main problem ive run into is no insulation at all in the adjoining walls between you and the opposite Tennant. Just by doing this first step makes a huge difference then later you can apply a sheet of sound drywall over the existing drywall.
