Question: Is there something I can put against a wall that would mean that when the tennis ball hits it, it won't make a big amount of noise (like the ball hitting the wooden wall does) -- but yet, the ball will bounce back?

The ball will take forever in coming back because of the advice to proceed with caution from the head

[toney]

Hang the ball on a strong twine from the ceiling and practise

Try a thick sheet of rubber......or, if possible, build up another wall with a gap of a couple of inch from the original wall.

No, sir, this is to create a practice area in my apt--to be the next wall.

thick sheet of rubber might work, if the ball will bounce against it. can't build another wall, of course, sadly!

You can use a thick particle board(25-30mm) as the extra wall...maintaining an inch-gap from the original.
Again, you can stick a sheet of thick cork-sheet/ rubber sheet on the particle board.
For better effect...make a grid of 25 mm x 25 mm wooden battens on the existing wall. Secure the particle brd on that grid-frame. This will gave the board great stability and also maintain the air-gap for improved acoustics.

but dexy beware. If your apartment is anything like an average american apartment, no amount of padding or double walling will remove the noise or impact that your neighbours will feel. Prepare to be evicted.

American houses (apartments) are built so thin ..specially the common walls that doing anything on a common/shared wall is dangerous.

I know...American houses are rather noisy for users...what with all the wood/glass and mdf boards! Even if you walk around, it may disturb your neighbours!
I guess carpetting just the floors is not enough!
