Even so, the CTTT order is about stopping the noise, not laying down insulation and they should consider whether it is worth risking having to go back and do it all over again, After all, it was so-called “experts” who told them the current insulation would be fine. Attempting a solution is not the same as solving a problem. If it doesn’t worrk, all it means is you didn’t try hard enough and that’s exactly how NCAT will see it if the problem continues.
Jimmy is spot on the mark here. The CTTT usually does not specify a product to solve the noise problem and it would be risky to agree to any specific solution as it may not solve your noise issue. In my case the owners have put in cheap carpet and cheap underlay. This has reduced the noise, but not eliminated the daily disturbing thumps on the floor above. So its back to NCAT for me. Nothing beats quality thick carpet and thick quality underlay.
