the cheapest way to sound proof your room is to get egg cartons and put all over your walls.that way no one else will hear it and the soundwaves will come back to you.

Are you seeking to sound proof or sound deaden your room? In sound proofing, you would have to install slate, stone, tiling or something hard in your walls, then cover that with sound absorbing materials. I'll run under the assumption that doing this is beyond your means.

Sound deadening / sound dampening your room would be much easier. While I don't suggest you line your walls with insulation (as that is not cheap and will make your room really hot), you can get lots of pillows, blankets, put up curtains, and elevate your amp up off the floor. Hang a thick blanket over your door while you play to keep sound from passing through the door. Temporarially put something over any vent in your room to keep sound from travelling down ventillation shafts. Just look for places where sound could easily "escape" and do simple things to hinder the sound form exiting the room.

Anything soft will absorb sound, and that's the easiest thing to do.
