Sound Proofing

Recommended Posts

Hello, does anyone have experience or recommendations for soundproofing walls? I live in a Victorian terrace and my bedroom is next to the living room of our neighbours (whose terrace has been converted into flats). They seem to be up at all hours and regularly play loud music until midnight so i?m Trying to find a solution, the walls seem paper thin!

I used No More Noise to soundproof three ceilings and several walls in my flat (https://www.checkatrade.com/NmnSoundproofing/). They were very efficient and tidy and the reduction in noise levels was as they promised. It probably won't be cheap, but from personal experience it is money well spent when you can get some peace and quiet and sleep better. Ask for Hein or Grant.

Silly question, but have you tried talking to the neighbours about it?


They may well not realise that they are disturbing you, or that their living room is next to your bedroom (though in my experience sound travels in weird ways in Victorian terraces even if they are not converted into flats).


If politely asked to keep the noise level down - or off - after a reasonable hour (11pm?) they might do that. Or you could suggest they listen to the music on headphones?


You could (if you felt comfortable about it) ask them into your room to listen to how loud their music sounds on the other side of their wall?


If they are amenable to taking some steps to reduce or eliminate the noise, it would save you the time and expense of having to soundproof your side?


Good luck!

    • If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward.  isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed.  Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering.  Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting.  If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure.  Pretty simple.  I don't bother with jointing compound.    
    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses?
