Hi all,
I recently moved house into a semi from a terrace and was looking forward to relative peace in comparison to living in-between two large families. Sadly, the walls in my new house seem to be paper thin - I can hear next door talking fairly often, and obviously when their dog barks it's all too clear - this would not be so much of a problem if I was not currently working from home, so perhaps more sensitive to noise than I would normally be if I was at home after work!
Are there any decent systems than can reduce noise by a good amount? The house used to have multiple chimneys, so I'd need something that could go around those whilst hopefully not taking up too much space.
I would speak with my neighbours, but it seems unreasonable to tell them to stop having conversations in the comfort of their own home (although oddly I never hear their TV/Radio)
Cheers,
TFT
