I've ended up moving next to a woodworking enthusiast. Although our
properties (bungalows) are detached his garage is right next to (like
within an inch or two) of my office/spare bedroom extension.

He has equipment such as circular saw, planer, lathe etc in the garage
and the sound and vibration resonates through our house.

Of course if the properties had been built garage to garage the
problem would have been minimised but all the garages are to the left
of the properties.

Anyhow has anyone got experience on the efficacy or otherwise of
vibration pads such as

vibration-pads/anti-vibration-pads/p2051

or similar, or any other ideas?

I fit rectangles of reinforced rubber belt under all my machinery.
Mainly to level up poorly laid agricultural concrete. I think most noise
from woodworking machinery is likely to be airborne, particularly
circular saw and planer.

I don't see much hope of him volunteering to fit sound absorbing
material on his walls:-(

Perhaps you could encourage him to take up Golf?
