No, the panels only work as baffles and adsorbing sound with in the space they confine. Purely for treating the room. IE Great for a vocal or drum booth to dry out the sound, separate instruments for bleed purposes but won't do shit for actually deadening sound that leaves the space.
The only way to go completely sound proof is either some serious wall in wall construction - or a basement.
Basement is the best option because most the work is done. Unfinished is even better because you'll be building up over the structure ideally.
There is really nothing you can do to sound proof anywhere without serious permanent modifications. So if you are renting it's just better off to rent a lock out somewhere, prob cost you about the same in materials over the short term anyway.
Find a band to play with and split the lock out, now you have a 24/7 practice space for 1/3 or 1/4 the cost it would otherwise be....
If you own a place, that's a whole different ball game. There's lots of info online on how to do wall in wall construction, sound proofing, sound treating and everything else you could need to know about building a studio.
Where my band's studio is, we don't have neighbors close enough that the sound is an issue. All we are interested in is treating the inside of the rooms for our desired sonic environment. Could care less about sound escaping, because nobody's around to complain.
*Side note we just got a claw foot bathtub (for free) to put the amps into to record. Super cool natural reverb trick we had read about.
** I have heard that the sonic lead sheeting used in cars can truly sound proof a room without ripping the walls apart and such. However the cost is insanely high.
