Soundproofing a 1950s semi-detached house, you must taking into consideration the suspended floor void.
It may seem surprising how often this is overlooked. Bricks missing in the structure of the house cre- ate holes that allow noise to travel straight through. Bricks are often missing where floor joists (upstairs or downstairs) enter the separating party wall. Floor joists are the structural supporting wood that runs across the room; your floor boards are fixed to them. If your floor joists run into the party wall (you will be able to tell, because the floor boards will run parallel to it), then you may well have holes in the structure.
Also, bricks become loose over time. As people walk over the floors of your house, the wooden joists move, which eventually causes the bricks around them to become loose. Your neighbours have the same, as their
floor joists also enter the party wall and their bricks may also have come loose over time. A house built in the 1920s, for example, would have had people walk- ing all over the floor boards for the last 100 years. It is quite common to find holes in the party wall beneath the boards of a bedroom floor.
