Denser materials block more sound than less dense materials. So, wood. But 1" thick of wood seems a bit extreme; you should be OK with MDF or plywood that's 1/2" thick.

this.

myself and another CF member built our own out of 3/4 plywood... and i added some dynamat to the back and carpeted over. while it is a little on the heavy side... my wifes complaining is quite a bit easier to understand now... which i guess could mean i need to get rid of it

all in all... with about $30 in material... and a 6 pack... i love it.
