Unless you are living in a banana republic

In advanced civilisations it's not simply done by reading a few books
and/or Wikies and using a piece of jotting paper + a calculator.
I wonder if Karen's home is a rental flat or a freehold flat. However,
Karen doesn't want to "damage the wall itself", so I asume Karen
doesn't want to build a new building inside the room.

Just isolating the walls gains less, since at least the joints of walls
and the ceiling and especially the floor are week points.

In Germany we have the term "Trittschall" and there's a German Wiki
about this toppic available,
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trittschall :). There also is the term
"Trittschall" in German audio engineering, but this is completely
unrelated to this thread, just a description for a pass filter, where
"tritt" is for "impact", not necessarily a "footstep".
