Rugby in Sevilla/Soundproofing
Tuesday, March 9, 2010 @ 7:51 PM
I am not aware of any rugby in Sevilla only football and we avoid the bars when there is a big match on. The spanish are loud enough before they get wound up by watching overpaid people run around a field.
We had new neighbours (spanish) move in last week-end. Despite the 4inch soundproofing I added to the party walls we can still hear them shouting at each other. I even turned the telly up full but we could still hear them.
We have tried asking them to be quiet but naturally being spanish they have no understanding of of peace and quiet.
One of my spanish friends came round to listen and agreed that apart from having a gap of around two kilometers between houses there is little that one can do. In his block of apartments there are fights most weeks over noise.
Our house is now on the market as we cannot bear to live like this. It is like a council estate back in the UK.
Hopefully our prayers will be answered and we will sell and move somewhere more sociable than Spain.
