Hi. 

Does anyone have any success story with soundproofing their bedroom ceiling?

I have a new neighbour above, and he is very noisy especially at night and weekends. Tried speaking to him twice but no improvement.

My sleep is interrupted. Soundproofing is my last resort, and I am worried that the monies spent will not solve the issue.

The best thing you can do is get yourself those industrial ear plugs like they use in those metal stamping factories, you won't be able to hear a thing when you use those plugs when you sleep

Thank you for the reply. 

I have worn said earplugs of 33NRR or 3M earmuffs on several occassions. I still can hear occasional impact noises, not to mention the discomfort of both options. 

I want to be able to sleep without having my sleep interrupted. I just thought it might be easier to do up an accoustic ceiling than to expect someone to be considerate and change lifestyle habits. My only concern is that it would be money wasted.

No i think it would be a good investment because end of the day its something that would be very useful

Hi Zenth

   I faced the same issue as you. Over the years, had you found an effective way of soundproofing to solve this issue? I would like to know?

interesting topic here. 

How do we actually soundproof the ceiling? adding an additional layer? wouldnt that make the alrdy low ceiling even shorter for newer HDBs?
