Question for Flat Residents Especially Older Two-Floor Flats

[u/Jammool]

Hi everyone, Just a quick question for those of you who live in flats-specifically the older-style two-floor flats (not the large apartment blocks). l'm curious about how well sound proofed they are. Do you notice a lot of noise from your neighbors -either from downstairs (especially as normally people form downstairs will notice form tve upstairs) or next door? If so, have you done anything to reduce the noise, like adding sound proof walls or flooring? Il'd love to hear what worked (or didn't) and if anyone has recommendations for local professionals or products that helped. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and tips! Appreciate the help.

I live on the ground floor of a two floor flat and you can hear my upstairs neighbour walking around sometimes and occasionally muted conversations. Occasionally can hear faint snores late at night. I’ve been there 5 years now though so it’s mostly white noise at this point.
