Noise semi detached

No easy way but you could insulate the walls more the best affordable way is to soundproof your walls effectively is to use drywall and other materials to create an air-tight wall space. Installed over insulation and sealed in to form an extra layer in your walls, drywall forms a solid barrier for sound.

You might lose a couple of inches on your room size but it will improve the sound level.

Put as much insulation in as you want, but it never works. Terraces, semi-ds and apartments are all the same. You will hear the people all around you. You share a building. I know people who have paid small fortunes for sound insulation and while it makes the noise a bit less they are always disappointed with the results.

If its new to you then it will take a while to get used to it, but eventually you will get used to it and wont notice. Even if there is murder going on next door. Its just the sound of life going on.

There is no such thing as a sound proof house if it attached to other dwellings.

I live in a new build semi d and don't hear a single thing next door. Absolutely nothing. The only noise we hear is them closing their front door but that's through the wall vents to outside not through the walls themselves.

I always laugh at this suggestion. You can't be expected to live your life in your own home with earplugs in as a way of life.

I have yet to enter an apartment, semi D or terraced house where next door cant be heard. Maybe Ive been walking into the wring houses all my life :)
