noise blocking reccomendations, please|

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.

Yes, these -brilliant!! www.boots.com/boots-soft-disposable-ear-plugs-10153241?cm_mmc=bmm-buk-google-ppc-_-supplier_funded-_-Ad+group+1-_-SF_Panasonic+Fathers+Day_Shopping_23&gbraid=0AAAAADrIajWgVIbs621agUmRTNZ2bvOV2&gclid=CjwKCAjw9-6oBhBaEiwAHv1QvKfpVn5m-XhzSpzsuBGJaNN3cJCGReYrlyCCUhombT_IW3PAa3TajhoCb8cQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

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.
