Hi all,

I live in a top floor, of a three storey block of purpose built flats
built
around forty years ago There are concrete floors between the levels and
there is no problem from below. On the one side of my flat, the wall that
is
alongside the next door flat is a 9" laid flat concrete block wall
finished
with plasterboard spot stuck to the wall with plaster. Is there anything I
can do to my side to cut some or even better all the Noise out; this is
only
a problem when they are playing music, and alouth I use headphones when I
want to listen to music or watch a late film, they just blast out! As my
flat is a bed sit this same room is also my bedroom and I just cannot get
to
sleep when it is blasting out. Hoping for helpful advice,

Would anyone also know if, because this is an Housing Association flat,
whether there are any grants available to help upgrade?

Ghetto blasters were not around when these flats were built!

pity they are now.

How about filling the wall with book shelves and filling them with books. I
don't really know if it works, but at least you'd have something to read
when you can't get to sleep. :-)
