Ever since our neighbors renovated their adjoining frame house, it’s like being in the room with them. We didn’t hear the previous neighbors to nearly the same degree. This is awful and when I’m on the phone with clients, they can hear the kid next door screaming, which she does a lot. There’s only 6 inches of brick between the houses so my husband doesn’t think that blowing in insulation is going to work. Anyone have recommendations for a sound proofing expert before I lose my mind?
What’s the best way to dampen the sound between row houses? Do you need a pro or can it be done on your own? Share your thoughts in the original post.

Nope nope! I’m here! I read both! That picture bears such an uncanny resemblance to me when the screaming starts next door. I like Adamc1303’s suggestion – I’m going to see if I can find more info. If that will deaden the sound next door that would thrill me no end. I appreciate everyone’s feedback on this thread and my original post!
Thanks for clarifying and for the feedback. If people leave additional comments on the blog post we’ll start linking it in the Forum too.
Hi Dave, the Forum post has not been moved to the homepage; they all still exist in the Forum, and I repost them on the blog to direct people there. In the sentence beginning with “Share your thoughts,” the words “original post” link to the Forum, where the thread is still active.
