[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello! We live in a 2600 square foot 4 level townhouse in NW DC as a family of four. It has plenty of space but the noise carries like crazy! What can we do so that someone trying to nap in our top floor bedroom isn’t disturbed by conversations two floors down in the family room? House was built in 1980 and has hardwood floors and cheap doors, would it help to start with doors and adding more rugs?[/quote] Start with the doors. Solid doors, none of the hollow core rubbish. If you house is open plan it will be difficult to stop noise going up the stairs, we have the same issue, but blocking at the bedroom works if the door and the door frame is desinged for noise reduction. Rugs and drapes help absorb noise to a small extent also.[/quote]
