The company he contacted told him that the house he lives in will let them perform insulation that is about 10cm thick, which will correspond to a sound reduction of approximately 5 decibels. Considering there are lots of musicians here, I thought someone might have an idea weather a sound reduction of 5db is good enough or not.. Any thoughts would be very welcome. Thanks, O.

Whether a 5dB reduction is sufficient depends on the noise level measured at the boundary of the property using a dB meter on c weighting and what the local noise requirements/laws are.
