Hi!
We've recently moved into a mid-terraced Victorian cottage. We can hear our neighbours talking through the walls, even when they're not talking particularly loudly (luckily they're decent neighbours).
Has anyone had a similar issue and what have you done that was effective - and at what cost?
We are planning to make significant changes to the layout in 5 or 6 years, which is when I would think about a complete soundproof solution - but is there something fairly inexpensive that can be done in the meantime.
I've noticed that the skirting boards can be pushed back against the wall, suggesting there's quite a gap behind it. It's it worth pulling these off and filling with something?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
