One idea is to offer to split the cost since it is of value to both  
parties to the wall.

I inquired of Silent Source if foams can be painted since this package  
comes only in black and charcoal gray. They said it can be painted  
with acoustical paint and it is best if the paint is sprayed on.

I assume it would also be of value to parties above and below because  
it stops echoes and reverberations.
