If you want to reduce the sound from your flat, you can add acoustic or sound absorbing material under your carpet.

I make the assumption that he has mental health problems because of the irrational way he behaves towards us, the unsubstantiated claims he has made towards us, and the threats of physical violence he has made towards us. I don't want to list on EDF what he has done to us more than I need, in order to explain the situation we find myself in. It's not important- what's important is how the situation can be solved. I have of course asked the council if and how they can help to make noise travel less in the property etc., but they are not able to help unfortunately. -

You don’t say what type of flooring you have, having thick carpets etc can help
