A56 forcing me to update with fake bugs

So, I have noticed in the past few months that when I ignore samsung upates for a week or two my phone starts getting some weird bugs like the "go back" button not reacting at first few touches and it keep happening until I do the update. It happened for the past two updates. Today I had a new bug, suddenly my phone wouldnt charge at all when connected to the charger. I tried different adapters and cables and it wouldnt fix until I installed a new software update. I have the feeling that Samsung is pushing me to update software with these fake bugs... if its not some virus or something. Anyone else had the same issues?

Insulation material over bathroom tiles?

I have some issues with sound (mostly voices) from neighbours which I think is coming through wall and floor tiles in one corner of my bathroom. In order to test the weak spots and find the best solutions I would like to temporarily put different materials over the tiles. Is there an efficient way to glue like mass loaded vinyl or some noise absorbing materials and not damage the tiles? For example using some kind of silicone... something which I could fully remove after testing it.

Anyone actually tried something similar?

How to reduce sound transfer through vertical heating pipes?

Hello, so I have some issues with bad sound insulation in my bathroom and I can clearly hear and understand every word my neighbours below say when they are having conversation near the bathroom.

Aside from the ventilation shaft which transfers the sound, I identified another weak spot where the most of the sound comes and its actually from the floor where two heating pipes go vertically from their apartment into mine. Pipes are well covered on their joints with concrete, I dont see any holes so I suspect that the sound is going directly through the pipes.

Any way to reduce the sound transfer by covering pipes with something like MLV or some other material and still have the heating or at least keep half of the pipe height free so that I dont lose all the heating?

Potential risks I identified:

-losing some heat

-glue not holding up when the heating season starts

-potential toxic fumes if insulation material is not stable at higher temperatures?
