Hopefully this pic is easy to understand, but pretty much i'm trying to set up my room so I get little background noise on my senstive as fuck mic.
The main source of sound is a squeaky dryer on the floor below, and I have 2 dogs which are dumb and bark at everything. I was thinking putting acoustic foam panels on the wall the desk touches, but i'm not sure what else to do.
The stairway wall is a given, but would it help to put it on any other walls? How should I lay out panels for the most sound reduction at the cheapest price?
I don't know anything about sound proofing, but maybe this layout would be benefitial

I assume it's either a support structure for the building or a chimney of sorts. The space wouldn't just be left empty or be filled in for the sake of being filled in.

Drummer speaking
Accoustic foam will reduce reverberation in the room, but in no way will isolate your room from outside noise. Isolation is made by the walls themselves. An isolated room needs to have walls made using the same principles as insulated glazing.
At best you can put heavy curtains on the windows AND doors (main sources of incoming noise). It will make a noticeable difference already.
Holy shit, I thought this post went ignored. thanks everyone :)

It's a hollowed sort of chimney space that runs from the basement to the attic. It runs past the laundry room (below my room) so I'd imagine it was supposed to be a laundry chute or something. My mom re-purposed it and cut into the wall below and turned the space into a closet next to the laundry room, so it's not a big chute anymore but just a small space that's as tall as my room.
