Next time you rent check out what the floor structure is made of. Wood
floors and supports, don't rent. They are transparent to sound and also to
fire. Insist on concrete, it has its problems but the mass helps reduce
sound and fire passage.

Hi,

I'm having a serious problem, and I was wondering if anyone can help
with it. I live in an apartment building. My neighbour below me
always invites friends over, plays loud music, etc. I hear him till
the wee hours DAILY!!! It's seriously driving me insane! Even after I
warn him, he keeps going. My landlord sent him a letter, but as I am
writing this e-mail, I can still hear his TV on (he's watching Star
Wars). Is there anything I can do to add some sound insulation. My
apartment is not very big, the floors are made of wood. Someone please
help me!!!

David
