We live in a brownstone circa 1840 and our downstairs neighbor complains of hearing our footsteps and some conversation (she says she can hear our 10lb cat walk and it sounds like a monster. NB we don’t wear shoes in the house). The neighbor is painting their bedroom and have said that they will soundproof the ceiling but I need to tell them how to do it. I want to find the best solution so I don’t have to hear about this issue any longer! I guess our problem is “impact noise” as well as “airborn noise.” I know about greenglue and found something called isotrax (isotrax.com). Has anyone heard of the latter? What would be the best solution to fixing the problem? Quotes and bids on the project welcome as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
