This has probably been covered before but I can't seem to find any definitive answers..
We live in a timber frame semi detached built in 2007. My neighbours staircase is directly behind our fireplace. So apart from hearing shower and washing machine etc that comes with living in a timber frame house what is really driving us crazy is every time their teenage kid's go up and down the stairs our whole house seems to shake. It's gone so bad that we can't hang anything up over our fireplace or in the alcoves.
So I'm wondering does anyone know of any solution to this. Any websites I looked up seem to only to fix noise reduction eg for the shower tv etc,which would be helpful but what we really need is to solve the impact noise eg the walls vibrating from the stairs.
We are in negative equity so there is no hope of moving out any time soon.
Any advice greatly appreciated
