OP again - I may have found the answer but its not the one I wanted. A very nice neighbour came in and put his ear to everything, internal wall, external walls, the windows.He could kind of only hear the humming with the walls but when he put his ear to the windows, he could hear exactly what I...

OP again - electrician called. He looked at the cables outside. The problem is that three cables alone are my neighbours, only two are ours, neighbours cables are right next to our wall. He could hear the sound, said it sounds like a harmonics issue, said to ring NTL and eircom, to get them to...

UPDATE AGAIN- Disaster. The cables on the walls outside are not ESB, they are NTL, phone - our ESB cables are underground. We had a guy from the ESB in the house for almost an hour checking everything he could think of. He could hear a slight humming sound but couldnt locate it.He didnt know...

Hi thanks again for the replies. Re the ear plugs, we already wear them and the really good ones as well - the noise goes right through them. My electrician said that if the problem is electrical, the electrical waves will go right through any ear plugs, but if the problem was any other sound...

UPDATE ON THIS - guys,this is getting very serious,neither the OH or myself have slept much the last two nights with this noise. I switched off the electricity at the mains - can still hear the noise. So we went outside our house and my wife thinks she could hear a humming near one of our...

I got foam insulation put into my extermal walls about five months ago. After that, I noticed a buzzing sound coming from the walls, every so often but nothing major. I always thought it was next doors heating coming on. The last week, however, the buzzing is now 24 hours a day.I went next...

Re: Dog mistreated OP, don't give up and fair play for trying to do something now. I was in a situation some years ago (regarding a cat) and in this case, I had to do something immediately or the cat would have been tortured and killed (wont go into all the details here).I went with my gut...

Hi I have no information, just to say my brother and I are in a very similiar position and a bit nervous. Hopefully someone might have some information.

Thanks Sueellen, I will try a third time and say it is my third attempt!

Sueellen, I rang them before and found the woman I spoke to very unhelpful, said she would get someone to ring me back and never did. I rang again, same woman and she was almost rude this time. I will try again but I was very put off by both their site (very little information) and noone...

Hi Laine, Ive been making enquiries about the very same thing and coming up against a brick wall, no company I have asked will do foam insulation for interior walls and for noise insulation. Yet a pal says he recalls his dad (who used to work in construction) talking about being able to get this...

Well, from my research, its supposed to be the most effective for sound proofing in comparison to others, I could be wrong.

We got married in Rome last year, small party of 20 and it was fantastic. We organised the whole thing ourselves (websites, help from friends who had married in Rome and word of mouth), honeymooned in Italy and we have a whole month of unbelievable memories. We too felt the day itself was like...

Hi, I can't find out (too much conflicting information) if I can sound proof just one or two rooms in our house. Our problem is noise coming from neighbours kitchen into our back bedroom (TV, radio, drawer noises). Front of house, sitting room and front bedroom seem to be fine. I would ideally...

Im toying with the idea of getting sound proofing put in our house. One company have quoted €6,200 and use iso strip t, which I know is the best (and most expensive) on the market. The quote includes all work, right down to repainting the walls. I would ideally like to sound proof only two rooms...

Re: Recommendation for company to do pumped in insulation? Thanks Sueellen, I meant pumped in insulation. I did ring the SEI and found them quite unhelpful, which surprised me. I did a search already on previous posts but didnt actually find any company mentioned, hence the post.

Hi, one of my neighbours has got pumped in insulation put in his external walls and Im considering doing the same. However, my neighbour has gone abroad for several months and I can't find out who he used. If anyone has had foam insulation put in and would recommend the company they used, I...

Hi Fauve, if you do a search here, you will find a lot of posts about switching and NIB and how long it took people. From memory, it seemed to take longer than the norm for a lot of people, depending on their location.

A pal's sister was trying to learn to drive and got so intimidated by all the beeping, flashing lights and gestures at her, she has apparantly stopped driving completely.

Thanks guys.
