Yes in theory, but not easily. You would probably need to put up
a false wall, something heavyish ( e.g. plasterboard ) to reflect
sound back, and fill it with rockwool to attenuate the sound. It's
necessary to avoid gaps and support the false wall in such a way
as does not allow the sound to be transmitted via the supports.
There was a query on I think, the 13th or 14th of August on this
subject. If your mail programme deletes old mails you could search
for it by doing a search on google, i.e +google +groups +uk.diy or
somesuch. Sorry, no practical experience on soundproofing.

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.
