Hi,
In a semi detached property is there any quickfire way for relatively
little outlay to add additional acoustic insulation to the adjoining
walls. I wasnt sure whether adding sheets of plaster board may help cut
down on transmitted noise etc?
Thanks,
Matthew
Do a google search for "camden partition".
Basically, you need to structurally isolate your house from their's
(not totally possible of course),
by having an air gap and then more mass, e.g. 2 sheets of plasterboard.
Deisgn of semi affects this, i..e larger semis often have joists
running lenghways ontol a sleep wall in the middle of the house,
whereas smallers one often have joists into the party wall, meaning
that more sound is transmitted.
