Anyone here live in a terrace house?

[Hertfordshire10012]

How do you cope? I can hear my neighbour’s tv, can hear them talking, slamming doors. It drives me mental

I don't but I'm staying at my mum's mid terrace for a few days and I can't hear the neighbours. Is your house a modern one?

Don't hear anything in my mid-terrace, apart from DIY, which is thankfully not often.

I have horrible neighbours and I’ve reached the point I can’t stand hearing their voices and we hear everything all of the time. One side are a bunch of bullies who laugh at people and purposely provoke and the other side are criminals (from the conversations we have heard). Hate it!!

My house is around 12/13 years old. I rarely hear the neighbours unless they really slam their front door and occasionally on the stairs but think we have good sound proofing

End terrace here, sometimes we hear next doors dog barking, but it’s not excessive, the poor thing’s not keen on fireworks.

Other than that the only thing we hear is if they switch the switch on a certain plug socket. It echoes on our side for some reason.

One side, single bloke, bit of a hermit. His TV is on our adjoining hall wall and never hear it. The other side however… shouty, sweary family that boom at each other until at least 9 pm . Their TV is back to back with ours so only hear it when ours is off…

Oh it’s a 1907 house, sort of inserted into older terrace!

I'm in an 1829 mid terrace. Single skin walls.

I think I'm just lucky with my neighbours! Don't hear one side but hear a quiet mumble of TV from the other side.

My last house was 1913 and I heard EVERYTHING from both sides.

Do we have the same neighbours? 😂

We live in a semi-detached new build (10 years old) and we constantly hear noise from our neighbours. They do not talk at a normal volume, one of the kids has daily meltdowns; screaming, shouting, running around (which sounds like an elephant) . Add on to this their yappy dogs that they don't stop from yapping, it's slowly driving me insane.

End terrace, fairly new build. I hear them if they run upstairs as the stairs at next to my living room wall. Other than that nothing. When they had the baby I heard him crying once just because I was in bed ill and the house was silent. They are loud outside as the Dad is big kid and is out with water guns playing with the little lad (who is about 8 now) or playing playing football etc but it’s been summer holidays etc so good on them.

Depends what sort of construction. There are terraced cottages here with 4 ft stone walls between them, there’s no sound travel at all. Wouldn’t live in a modern one though.
