Hi, has anyone had any good experiences with soundproofing a ceiling or floor to stop footfall noise from neighbours?

Even a good builder who has experience with this?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi did you have any luck with this? I need some advice on sound proofing a shared wall as our neighbour keeps on waking up the baby and I'm exhausted! Would like an idea on prices..

Hi , we haven't yet had the work done but www.soundsolutionconsultants.co.uk have so far given very sensible advice. I have done a lot of research and they seem good.

I hope it sorts out for you. I think a wall is easier if u have the space to lose a bit.

Best wishes

The effectiveness of soundproofing is about edge detailing.

If you want to stop footfall noise the best way is to agree with the person above to use a very high density underlay. This is NOT standard carpet underlay but is very, very, very heavy material that is made from recycled car tyres.

However, if fitted correctly it is close to magical.

It is very difficult to stop sound radiating out of a structure once the sound/vibration has entered the structure.

So most robust approaches limit entry into the structure and then the reradiating of what does get through is also limited.

The other alternative is to put and independently suspended ceiling in which is going to be expensive and probably more disruptive.

Is the issue above bare boards? If so check the lease to see if there are restrictions on the flooring materials that can be used.
