Hi! My partner is looking at buying a flat on the top floor (there are just two floors below) The building was built in the 1980's, it doesn't have concrete floors. He thought he would be less likely to hear noise from the flat below, so better for him, but he is now worrying whether the people in the flat below will hear him. His hobby is listening to his music, he has a big collection, and this is his main enjoyment/relaxation. Thing is, he does play it rather loud, often for a few hours solid every day, but never late at night. But the last thing he wants to do is upset the neighbours, as if they complain, he would be upset and then keep the music quieter, but he would then be wary about playing it, if there is the risk of it disturbing people. The people in the flat below are retired (but not hard of hearing) and are home a lot of the time. It is really weighing on his mind and worrying him, to the point where he has thought about soundproofing the floor with special underlay, which is quite expensive and no guarantee it would be particularly effective. He keeps trying to convince himself it will be ok, but wonder if he should pull out of the sale, incase he regrets it. Any thoughts please? 🙂
