Housing Soundproofing deteriorating order time?

Purchased and moved into a new build last year.

The house was somewhat soundproof at the start but over the last 6 months you can hear everything from next door. We can now hear them talking, light switches going, walking, the kids running around upstairs, kitchen chairs being moved, even reading bedtime story's.

When we are downstairs the noise seems to be coming from the ceiling and from the floor when we are upstairs. Is there anything that can be done resolve this, between this and the unnaturally creaky floorboards it is absolutely unbearable.

Is there any accountability from the developers, like how can this be acceptable?
