      Having just moved into my new 1930’s apartment I was shocked at the level of noise from both my own, and the upstairs neighbour’s floorboards. Presently my apartment, and the one directly above, have a layer of carpet over the original and very noisy floorboards. I don’t believe either has any form of acoustic underlay.

      So, 2 issues. Like many people, I’d love floorboards but there is no way I’d ever consider using the original ones. In saying that however, I actually think that replacing them either with new boards (or carpet) with proper acoustic underlay would make the world of difference and I am happy to go down either path. But what about my upstairs neighbour and the fact that I can hear every sound even though she has carpet? I know she’d like floorboards (correctly soundproofed) also, but if that doesn’t happen, do I have any rights in terms of getting her to replace the carpet and having an acoustic underlay installed? 

      I’ve only slept there 4 nights and am going nuts…
