This is probably a long shot, however, I was just wondering if there is a way to reduce the noise from the bathroom to my baby room in my house built a long time ago. It seems to me that we could hear the water tap running or toilet flushing much louder than inside the bathroom even though the 2 rooms are separated by the stairs hallway.
I was thinking of spending the money to substitute both bathroom and bedroom door for a soundproof one..however would that be the only solution? Any other thought or suggestion please?
Thanks
