It has been highlighted that low frequencies are very problematic. Made me think initially that the current building code is not fit for purpose, but on reflection, the costs involved in having a code that deals effectively with "everything" would escalate astronomically. Note that the code is only a minimum. If I was building new, with the knowledge and experience I have accumulated, I would drive most builders crazy with insisting on code+++ standards.

 

Consulting with the neighbour on a no-blame approach will likely offer the best, even if not ideal, solution. Maybe introduce them to the science outlined here by jonathan18

MadEngineer:

 

Are there any power outlets on that wall that you can pop off the face plate and check the gib inside?  Proper sound proofing uses two layers.

 

Just looked at the linked wall construction and although there's some product in the wall for sound proofing it's not double-lined and the gib is mounted directly to the nogging.

Ended up selling, made huge profit and their house then leaked and requires massive repairs.

 

 

 

Got to love Karma.

Glad to hear of a positive outcome. (for you at least).
