So bit of an update after a little bit of investigation. I can't see anything dropped down (quite difficult to see tbh) The wall is full of little metal ties as expected. The wall is filled with acoustic wool. The loft has a spandrel panel, but i can see both of the breeze block party walls...

looks very much like a spandrel panel! Do you think blocking the top of the cavity off and adding another separate stud wall infront of the spandrel panel would help at all?

They have been running around upstairs for the last hour so I smashed the soundsystem (huge bass guitar amp) on for one song and now it's all quiet.. It's 99% is impact noise so I have no idea if the ties are potentially the cause?

Interesting! The top of the cavity definitely has insulation in mine but I haven't checked if it runs the whole way down! I have no idea how I would insulate all the way down as its already built! :/

Yeah that option was never on the table haha As much as I'd like this to be resolved I'm not carrying 1tonne plus up into the loft!

Ah, that might be the issue then! Persimmon used insulation roll in the cavity!

The breeze block party wall stops about 2ft up into the loft space and from there up it is just boarded to separate the loft spaces. I would have understood if it was just the upstairs affected by noise but the lounge downstairs gets a lot of impact noise transfer. I was confused when I saw it...

I was really surprised when I got up into the loft and saw the construction as the impact noise transfer is crazy! It genuinely sounds like someone moving about upstairs in my house. I'm going to get up in the loft and try moving some of the insulation to the side so I can get a proper look...

Hi all Recently I've been becoming more and more annoyed with my neighbours and their kids running up and down the stairs all the time as it sounds like they are in my house! I was even woken up the other day when one of them sneezed. It was built late 2014/early 2015 by persimmon. They have...
