Hi guys,
Anyone here has successfully installed acoustic foam or tiling to absorb some sounds coming from the upstairs unit?
Some background on why I need this installed:
Been living in a condo for a year and all was well until my next door neighbors and upstairs neighbor moved in with their kids. Previously, the unit was so peaceful and quiet until these neighbors moved in and made my life hell what with all the running and pounding sounds (kids must be jumping as well).
Can’t really fully place the blame on them since the developer cheaped out on the materials, but I have spoken to the neighbors regarding the noise and it has decreased after a certain time. However, when the kids are running, the pounding is still giving me a headache.
I’ve installed a plaster ceiling but am looking into redoing it and getting a professional well versed in soundproofing to lay some acoustic panelling or foam and install a new plaster ceiling (mainly for the living room).
For those who have done this, would like to know: has it worked? How much did you spend and can you recommend your contractor?
Thanks!
Ya. My cousin's apartment at Midfields 2 also has a kid running around like an elephant. Why can't neighbours be more noise consentious? Anyone here has successfully installed acoustic foam or tiling to absorb some sounds coming from the upstairs unit?

Padding your ceiling isn't going to do anything as noise will travel through the walls too. The noise will also transfer from living room through the other ceilings making it soundlike it's coming from there.
Your best bet is perhaps asking your neighbour down to you place and hear what their kids sound like as they run around..
Being a nice neighbour to your neighbour might do the trick.
Having said that, my problem in Penang is those pesky mat remits going through the road below me. Need to soundproof my walls and windows... Or else a cannonball as I will shoot them!
