Hi
I own a ground floor unit, and can hear the upstairs neighbours constant footsteps and conversation. Ill be eventually renting this out - and realise that it will be hard to keep tenants who will be woken every evening and morning by stompy neighbors!
Has anybody in a downstairs unit ever done any soundproofing of the cavity ceiling - and what method did you use.
What would be the cheapest method of soundproofing...i.e.
1. Retrofit acoustic insulation via blown-in method
2. Taking off the Gib on the ceiling - fitting acoustic insulation and re gibbing ceiling
3. Adding a drop ceiling with acoustic clips
4. Adding acoustic panels to the ceiling to absorb sound (and does this even work?)
Any advice greatly appreciated.
