I realise Nancy is replying to a 10 year post, but it's always amazed me how
little care is taken with soundproofing between joined-up homes. Well,
disappointed more than amazed I suppose.


In a 1960's bungalow it's par for the course.

Building Regs Part E should have 'cured' the problem in newer
houses and flat conversions. The sound transmission requirements
for the latter are particularly strict, and expensive if you
get it wrong.
