I live in a mid-terraced house, with just 2 breezeblock walls and an airgap between me and my neighbours. I dont even have plasterboard on the party walls.
The soundproofing is so bad I can even hear one side snoring at night... and on the other side, they like to sleep with their TV quietly playing News 24 (which is bl**dy annoying to say the least). When I have a movie on at a "normal" listening volume, it is audible from pretty much every room in my house - so they must be able to hear it too. You get the picture.
As this problem affects the whole house, other than moving, what options do I have?
I cannot install false walls in every room - and even the lounge (where all the HC kit is) would be difficult to say the least (new flooring in place, radiators and power sockets to relocate, cupboard with door flush against existing party wall, etc).
I was wondering if there was some kind of acoustic foam I could have pumped into the airgap between the houses which would reduce the amount of sound that is transmitted..? Or should I get it on the market asap and get into a detached house where I can watch Hellboy as the Director intended?
