Does anyone know anything about it?

We live on the top floor of a 1920s 3-story block of flats. Currently all flats have no underlay and just thin carpet on top of original floorboards.The guy below us can hear everything we do (and vice-versa) and his neighbours can hear him.

We want to put in wooden floors.

Does anyone have experience of the various acoustic underlays out there? Acoustilay, Regupol etc?

Any information or pointers v gratefully received.

Garnett how long have you got?
As it is a 1920's purpose building are the floors timber all the way through? Often then they used timber on concrete which has pretty good soundproofing properties. Fibreglass/rockwool is next to useless by the way. What noises is your neighbouring hearing? Speach, creeks, footfall.
