Airborne noise is transmitted between rooms via flanking elements instead of directly through seperating elements or along any path other than the direct path.
To reduce the amount of sound heard by other person you would need to install a barrier or sound insulator between the source and you. The thicker and denser the barrier then the better the sound reduction will be.
Here are some products that can help to reduce airborne noise.
