Cavity Wall Sound Proofing

Does anyone know if the expanding foam which is injected into cavaity walls to help prevent heat loss will also help with sound proofing the room?

Basically I want to increase the volumn of my 5.1 sound system and I am afraid that it will annoy my neighbours - would the expanding foam help in anyway?

not as much as proper soundproofing, it might stop a bit of resonance but other than that i cant see that it would have a huge effect
