On the rare occasion that my neighbours are noisy I use a white noise machine. It has a choice of sounds and a volume button. However I don't know how good it would be at drowning out reverberating noise.

My family member who had a noisy family upstairs eventually had to move and the noisy family above bought her flat at a knockdown price so ended up with the whole house .
Always wondered if it was the plan.

Sorry I missed you already said no carpets,
There really needs to be.

There was some noise blocking stuff used in ( I think) episode three of the latest series of Sort your life out in seven day. It wasn’t for floors and ceilings, though, but dividing walls.

I don’t think flats should be allowed to have wooden floors. This happened to someone I knew who had a downstairs flat when the one above them was refurbished.

Are there carpets up stairs? Makes a huge difference,
You can only have a word with them and/or the landlord. You have my sympathy.

After 4 years of wonderful upstairs neighbours, the flat has been rented to 2 young guys (early 20s?) who, not surprisingly, are not quiet - even talking and walking around reverberates through the ceiling (wooden flooring upstairs).

The noise on Saturday night continued til 2 am when my visiting daughter, who was trying to work, came into my room and ranted. They must have heard at least the tone, as it quietened down, only to re-start at 3.

I was wiped out on Sunday and, before moving house (yes, it's that bad!) would like to give e.g. earplugs a chance. Has anyone found earplugs that work and are comfortable enough to sleep in?

Many thanks!
