Since my neighbour upstairs bought a new sound system I have had to deal with persistent noise issues.
I've tried to deal with this by talking to him and he will turn it down now on request. But the low frequency sound from the beat of his music still disturbs me a lot. He owns his flat and I know the limitations of going to environmental health or the management agency.
I would like to try some sound insulation. I live in a Georgian house with very low levels of sound insulation - I can also hear him walking around, talking, coughing etc. The neighbour upstairs just has thin carpets down and the sound also seems to travel down the walls.
I have quite high ceilings so I could get sound insulation fitted to my ceiling. I am wondering if that would work if and what would be the best approach to doing it? He's put his sound system on some furniture to reduce the sound problems but it hasn't helped that much.
I'm more likely to pay for someone else to do it than do it myself but am trying to work out what's the best thing to pay for and whether it would work. Many thanks indeed for any advice!
