Cabin walls are usually marine plywood with a veneer finish, which doesn’t reduce noise transmission much. Unless you want to listen to every noise from your neighbour or the adjacent head, make the cabin walls hollow, and insulate them with DFM mineral wool or an aerogel sheet<ref>Aspen Aerogel Inc., http://www.aerogel.com/</ref> or use structural insulated panels (SIP). Aerogel is also an excellent thermal insulator, with a value of around R22 per inch.
