Hi. The noise coming from upstairs is dreadful. They have laminate floor, i hear every step. Worse though, trying to sleep, i hear EVERY SINGLE MINUTE MOVEMENT when they adjust in bed... which is constant (their bed is directly above me, and up against the wall) It's not floor boards creaking, it's more like... muffled amplified noise, or something. I don't know, but it's driving me crazy, and it is unreasonable to complain and tell them to lie still like a corpse in bed!
So i want to try improve this within my skill range, which is quite low.
One idea I had (and maybe there are other fairly easy steps I can undertake) was to take the coving off from the ceiling, and seal the gap (if there is one!) with foam or rubber sealant.
I haven't taken the coving off yet (don't want to make a mess for nothing yet), but will there be a gap? Is there usually? The house is quite old - and will applying sealant/foam improve the noise at all?
I searched "remove coving" and I watched two YouTube videos - both had gaps when the coving came off. I am guessing this would leak noise?
Thanks.
