To be honest that would get my back up.

Have you looked into proper sound insulation? You will lose a few inches from the ceilings but it's the only proper solution.

Hello,
Not a great situation when you've just spent £200k on your first apartment and want to enjoy it..

Thanks,

:eek: that's awful.... is it a new build? if so could it be argued it's not fit for purpose as you can hear even basic conversations. Surely there should be some form of insulation between the floors? OK it's not going to completely stop "vibration" sounds like walking around of moving furniture, but to hear people even talking (No just a case of them shouting) that's a bit concerning...... There are ways of deadening the noise by putting high density rockwool or the likes between the floors but not sure if you would have any way of checking if this has been done.. you'd have to cut a little bit of a hole in your ceiling which, if you were planning on doing some decorating in the future, wouldn't be a big deal to do as it could be easily filled in again. If there is nothing there, can't see any easy way of getting it in there short of ripping ceilings down..... Not sure if there is anything you can "inject" in.....

Do I as him to be quiet after 11 in the bedroom or will this get his back up? is it unreasonable?

When you say timber, do you mean they have a wooden floor? Some flats restrict the use of hard flooring.

To be honest, unless that's the case I think asking him that would be unreasonable - they're clearly not making excessive noise if what you're hearing is normal conversation. You do have my sympathy but it's the soundproofing that is the problem, not the neighbour being awkward.

I'd give it a while - you'd be surprised what you get used to.

You are going to have to put sound proofing in. I know a few flat dwellers who have done it.

Walking and talking are normal behaviours which you cannot complain about.

You are lucky he doesn't have children otherwise you could hear them running around, playing, crying, singing, shouting and screaming around at any hour.
