    Doug, I am not clear why this is an advantage.  Is your balcony
    heated?  

    Anyway, perhaps you could build a sound-wall that could be set up
    around your pounding station.  Home Depot sells Styrofoam sheets in
    4x8 sheets in thickness of 1-3 inches.  It is used in house
    construction, so it is surprisingly inexpensive.  One side is
    covered with plastic and the other side is covered with aluminum so
    only the edges need protection.  With a roll of duct tape you might
    be able to make a foldable, storable, moveable barrier to deflect
    sound away from a sensitive neighbor.  

    I used this stuff to add 4 inches of insulation to our freezer and
    found it to work easily.  Use a big wood hand saw at a low angle to
    get straight cuts and use a trash can as a sawhorse to collect the
    otherwise messy styrodust. 

    With a little black paint and stenciled bamboo sprigs, maybe you
    could even make it not look too industrial.  Sort of a Chinese room
    divider if you know what I mean.  It could double as a screen to
    hide the equipment when you have guests.
