    Best way to reduce combi noise?

    We're thinking of having a rear extension on an old, small mid-terrace. We will have to move the boiler either in to the extension or in to one of the small occupied bedrooms next to the bed. The extension would be used as a living room with a new boiler either near the tv or near the sofa...
