Worked for me, But sure you can get better nowdays Its been ten years since I done mine, I've had no problems. I would recommend two layers of plasterboard but, Honestly it works. read all the information on acoustics and frequencies till I got a headache, Got that fed up with the noise, got it all done in a couple of days, No problems since

That will definitely work on one side. (The noisy side) but not on the other as the door is right against the wall. We need to do something because it's driving us both mad to the point where we're talking about moving which isn't really practical at the moment.

Just try it, I didn't plaster,' just used heavy duty lineing paper, then decorate as normal. make sure you fill all gaps. we went thru the same process couldn't move didn't want any arguments with next door, and like I said they have no idea that we have sound proofed the wall. you;ll be amazed |

Party walls
I am a building clerk of works so I can give a definitive observation.
Since the mid 50's all party walls were built with a cavity. The problem with sound passing through was because the floor joists supporting the first floor penetrated right through the brickwork leaf of the cavity wall & as these joists were not sealed with mortar properly the sound from the other property sailed through unhindered. Since then construction has learned to build properly & insulated cavities were introduced in the late 70's together with joist hangers which meant the brickwork was not penetrated. Insulating the cavity is the only solution, which will reduce the sound but not completely. |
