Kiribilly - Its comforting to know its mainly the flush thats audable, its actually the 5th WC which should only have reasonable hours use as it will be mainly used for visitors as all other people have there own WC in there ensuete. The house will be used myself and 3 FIFO workers as tennants (@ $280 pw each) . When the guys are on there 1 week break they like to party hard, drink heaps. Might have to develop a "if its yellow let it mellow" house rule. Mostly there will only be a maximum of 2 tennants home at once but if one is starting there break and the other is trying to sleep the day before they start there 12 hour shift after drinking solid for 6 days, I fear a problem may develop. Hence the pre emtive strike. Dynonite 69 - Sounds like U know your *hit. At this point I may leave acoustiflex for the walls as a "If all else fails" option. Nonetheless, after ecoclassics comment I think I wil put an extra noggin or 2 in between the rafters above the WC and put some on before the gyprock goes up. Michelle - I think that options out as I havent got the room for 2 walls of maxibrick and a 50mm gap for insulation. Thank you for your suggestion anyway Seakyl - No kids 2 worry about waking for me, my x looks after them Monkyupatree - Yep building in double brick externals 90 florentene limestone, 50 airgap and 90 maxibrick. Have upgraded all maxibrick to accoustic as the price per pallet difference is negligable. Thanks for the link though as it looks like emitting the airgap on an internal double wall might bugger things up based in the difference between using wall ties or not as shown on the link. That was the main question I wanted to ask the masses. Ecoclassic - Your point is very informative and somthing I have overlooked until your post. I will have R3 fibreglass insulation in the roof which should help, especially if I put acustiflex above the gyprock in the WC. I will look into the feasability of changing to sonarbats in leau of the R3 fibreglass. To comply with BCA I only require R2.5 total and I think I will be going sarking under the colourbond which gives me 1.5 from memory so if the sonar bats give me at least 1, I am in. It also brings up the point that I may not get the full benifit of your double glasing from outside noise blocking as I have no insulation in the eaves. Thanks heaps for all of your inputs.
