Hi all, looking for some advice as to whether people reckon there's anything can be done that would improve the noise transmission between a party wall in my flat.
If my neighbours are talking loudly or playing music, the noise carries through the wall (particularly low frequencies). Even if they're not been overly loud, the transmitted noise is still irritating, to the point I usually give up on watching TV and go through to my bedroom. I'm sure it's the same for them if I'm ever playing music or a movie with loud explosions etc.
The trouble is space to do anything...as you can see from the pictures. I only have a gap of about 18mm between the wall and the door from that leads into my living room. I also have a couple of electrical outlets, radiator and a phone point on this wall.
I have read a bit about green glue, and reckon there might just be enough of a gap between the frame and the wall to get an extra sheet of drywall with green glue on it applied to the wall..although the skirting could be an issue?
Anyone have experience of green glue to know if it would make any noticeable difference? And would I need to lose the electric/phone outlets on the wall?
Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
