Is there anyone who's reading this newsgroup that can give me some
personal experience of how much better the insulation can make the
problem of noise?


I live in a middle flat - i.e neighbours above and below and from
downstairs the noise is also transmitted through the walls. I'm not
sure how you'd insulate for that. If your neighbours aren't noisy as
usch but the flat doesn't have good insuakltion then you'll have good
improvements. If they're half-deaf and have tv & stereo on very very
loud then chances are you're still going to hear it.
