    Given that Sydneysiders are now increasingly living alongside and on top of each other and that apartments seem, slowly but surely, to be the residence of choice for so many people; doesn’t it make sense for the State government to legislate for the most effective possible noise transference standards?

    The reality is that noise (the woofer from the surround sound); loud music, hardboard floors, etc… is one of the principal issues that affect good relations among people living cheek by jowl.

    Therefore, can we not avoid many future disputes if developers/builders are required to soundproof common walls, floors and ceilings.

    It is possible to do this and no doubt it costs more…. but the lowest possible cost now is not a recipe for future good neighbourliness.

    And, as for the current Australian Acoustic Standard – it just ain’t tough enough.

    Thanks
