It seems like it’s easier to reduce airborne sound going up than impact sound going down.
I can tell you loads about noise insulation when you get back from your hols!
But in short that ^ is very true and it's pretty easy and cheap to stop airborne noise going up. Just be glad you don't have neighbours above your bedroom.

Not sure about planning permissions.
It’s a Victorian terrace that was divided into two flats in the 80s. We’ve had some of our floors up and it’s just rubble and rock wool between the joists.
Hackney is the local authority.
His flat is tenanted just now, by lovely people that we want to keep as neighbours.
We don’t wear shoes in the flat. Our kitchen is above their bedroom but they’ve always said it’s pretty ok noise wise. We get on well, they’d mention if it was an issue.
Thanks for the PIR advice. It seems like it’s easier to reduce airborne sound going up than impact sound going down.
