I’ve been getting thou not uncommon is general complaints only from one neighbour! I’ve reported his totally out of order harassment early this week, and it’s now been dealt with.
So I need to go with the plan that I set-up with from the start. Only take it a few steps further and with minimal cost.
A few items that I’ve been looking at the price looks okay I can afford that after I’ve saved up for each part that is needed for the living room.

I think rubber matting will be good choice for absorbent and impacts of sounds with layering of 1” MDF placed all over the surface area then carpet underlay followed lastly by carpet.
The walls will need extra treatment to reduce incoming and some of the outgoing sounds within the living room. I know all bass sounds can’t be dealt with but what about this!
If I tested the inner corners like front left/right where some portions of the frequency is rather high. Is it not possible that lows in the 40Hz to 70Hz range be heard in his flat as rumbling like sound? While most of the mid range sounds remain distant! High frequencies I’d say almost impossible to detect?
I’ll test the corners out in the daytime with a few REW frequency sweeps to show how strong and week the corners are.
Most of the lows in the 20Hz to 40Hz range is at the back of the room! Now its possible that the 20Hz to 40Hz might be passing down the back wall so that needs to be really dealt with to reduce or absorber its impact to a minimal.
I think some bass trap foam in the corners will reduce a small percentage.
Also the council will not fill the cavity walls with rockwool as it seems to a waste of time for old buildings. Rubbish! I see old buildings such as houses getting filled with rockwool! They’d soon have complaining neighbours rather than dealing with some the issue which is the cavity walls!
Also it would have second impact on wintertime with reduced outlet on the heating! More unnecessary cold comes though the walls now then! I should know I’ve placed my, hand on the walls around my, flat and it felt like refrigerator, what a joke.
So I might as well save up and do my part to reduce hmm reduce?? I don’t know what SPL db level these buildings are?
Is it 60 70 80 90 I’d say 100db is most defiantly out of the question, so what is the max SPL frequency response between each flat?
I’ve heard some high frequency musical bleeping sound coming from the flat below me. If I was any different I would have complained about them. its not worth it! Might as well look at the situation and figure out how to solve it without involving the council.
I’ve read the environmental noise issues and things to use to reduce and non of it mentioned soundproofing it did mention some sound absorbing material to place under speakers. Okay that’s a good thing!
I might as well do the rest on my back. It’s a petty shame real shame me and my neighbour don’t get along. The way I’d handle this is to place the mic and SPL db meter in flat and see what is happening then I’d have some sort of picture to look at and deal with one step at a time, until its sorted within many db?
I can even hear the two floors down neighbour giving Last Action Hero while the Predator stalks around in the jungle and 2001: A Space Odyssey and some rave music, I can hear this travelling up the wall!
Question is what SPL db frequency response is it in his flat?
Personally my friends, thinks the guy is an asshole!
Anyway I have little in the kitty now so I’ll just keep saving up until a I have few hundred then get the materials to deal with this issue.
Oh, also I placed my ear to the floor and I can hear the flat below only defused. See this is language that the neighbours below won’t use. So from below I’d imagine it would have one looking upwards all over because it can’t be pinpointed expect you know it’s above!
Now would there be more sound SPL frequency impact going though the floor and the floors are fairly solid. My other friend said its not the what I think? Its like a concrete with hollow square tubes and concrete poured over it?
Well this building is older than both us as and he’s worked on many building sites to know what he’s talking about.
Also this would reduce spoken dialogue like a conversation because its rather embarrassing :o: to hear neighbours shouting below even thou its sometimes muffled and when risen a bit higher where the middle range is heard kinder sounds like an active crossover on spoken dialogue. The further down the bass mid is reduced the less and lesser it becomes unintelligible, mind you switch off the HF!
