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

or similar, or any other ideas?

I found that rubber based anti-vibration products were fine for
stand-alone items, like an air compressor, where it didn't matter if the
top bit wiggled around a bit. They were less successful under machine
tools that needed stability. I used this stuff under the lathes in my
factories instead. It worked surprisingly well, considering that it
appears to be a hard, rigid material:
