If I want to dampen sound in my bedroom, do I put sound proofing in the bedroom or the family room?

I know there are sound proofing panels and artwork, and let’s say the noise is made in the kitchen and family room, do I put the panels in the living space or the bedroom to help the bedroom be quieter?

What products do you recommend to dampen the decibels in a house?

I like cork, but if I paint it will it nix the acoustic dampening quality?

Is canvas art as good as what they label as acoustic dampening art?

What else can you tell me or recommend?
