how can i soundproof my ceiling on the cheap..my neighbours like to party all weekend. i don't want to move as i have spent alot of money already

If all else fails , you could lower your existing ceiling by installing timber studwork/ metal stud or mf system and filling the void with insulation/acoustic barrier and then using a soundbloc plasterboard.
You would need to drop the height of your ceiling by approx 100 mm to acccomodate the insulation and new framework
both of these companies stock everything you need ccf or cp
both companies have branches nationwide and will deliver to your door......... at a price of course !

for now you could try these

Hiya have you contacted the council or police at all?

Get in touch with the environmental health department and ask if they can leave you a metre over the weekend.
If the music is that loud then just record the music at the weekends or video you sat next to teletext as proof of the time for housing association to see and environmental health department to look at.
Having proof will get you somewhere and will make people get off their !!!!!! and do something about it.
Environmental health department can issue warnings about noise and then can take court action if not stopped; they can also get in touch with your housing association as well.
Also get neighbours to confirm what you have told them, you don’t have to put up with it, they signed a contract with the housing association before they moved in so remind the housing association of that fact.
All the best Darren

if you own your flat and decide to sell, and IF you have reported them - you have to disclose to the potential buyers of any nusiances...a bit of a catch 22 situation here.

Like wigginsmum - try to talk to them without annoying them!

Have heard someone say this before, have had trouble with my neighbours too, who is it that when you report your neighbours to them that it has to be disclosed when you're selling? (Council/Police) Anyone know?

When you sell your property your solicitor will ask you to fill out a standard form where you are asked about work carried out, which boundaries you own etc. and it will also ask if you ever had problems with your neighbours and you're obliged to tell the truth.

Besides, if a formal complaint is made to the Council, it will come up on your Buyer's searches.

This is bound to affect your property's value.
