I’ve done a little soundproofing, and can tell you it is somewhat involved, not only because of the materials but because any opening, including a heating duct, door seam, or the like, can allow sound to escape. This may not be an issue with a party wall.
I used mass loaded vinyl, and since I wasn’t going to tear the sheetrocked walls down to studs-- a large walk in closet, i used furring strips to mount the stuff. It is very heavy, not easy to work with and requires you to cover it with another layer since it is highly reflective. In my case, I used soundproofing blankets over the mass loaded vinyl since it wasn’t a room open to the public. It worked fine-- I did this to mute the sound of a substantial air compressor used for my tonearm. More recently I built a sound proof box for that compressor-- lining the box with a product consisting of melamine foam (basically magic eraser stuff) formed in a sandwich with a layer of mass loaded vinyl in between. The melamine functions as the absorptive layer on top of the mass loaded vinyl, but again, this isn’t something that is exposed to public view. The material was also costly, but very effective. It might pay to get a quote or two from a contractor, since they may get better pricing on some of this material.
I haven’t used the products you mention. If you are going down to studs, you can do more, and it may be more cost-effective, but more labor intensive and messy.
Good luck, let us know what you do....
