Cheaply soundproof the floor.

[RP66]

We have just moved into our new home, a 1930's semi detached house.
We have been here 4 weeks and in that time our adjoining neighbour has been round twice to complain about the noise our 2 year old makes during the day. As far as we are concerned he acts just like a normal 2 year old, he runs around and plays with his toys.
She has now threatened to go and find advice as how she can force us to put a stop to the noise.

The ground floor has a large cellar beneath it, is there any way to perhaps cheaply soundproof the floor.

Thanks

It has carpet, not sure what the underlay is like.

Where is he below you? Or next door ?

Tell him to sound proof his walls next door cheeky git.
What sounds is he complained about?

Fine, the advice that she will receive will be that children being normally noisy is not something she can force you to stop, and that she should soundproof her side of the party wall. Just sit back and wait for her to get that advice.

But if you really want to learn about soundproofing yourself, my favourite site is:
