We get some noise come through from our neighbour's house. I have read loads about sundproofing - building stud walls, green glue, rubber floating walls, soundbloc etc. but really, budget is low and my DIY skills are limited - my main concern is how I will physically get the soundbloc plasterboard into the rooms etc.
After a lot of searching, I have a possible solution.....
Stick on sound blocker and bookcases....
If I cover the party wall with http://www.soundstop.co.uk/solutions/wall_solutions/wall_solution_4.php and then fit floor to ceiling bookcases, and fill in any gaps at the top with an extra thick bit of wood. Bookcase - something simple with a back, like http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/00263850/
Then fill with as many books as I can ......
I know probably it won't be as effective, but it will be easier and more useful ...
but will it be worthwhile at all?
