My husband and I had the same problem before and when we asked around, it appeared that hardwood floors are only allowed granted that they pass a certain thickness for insulation. If the noise is too much then that must mean that the floor’s thickness does not meet the minimum requirements. Again, you’ll have to check if this is applicable in your location.

Second, a noisy tenant can be evicted by a landlord. This is because everyone, including you, has the right to enjoy the peace and quiet of your living premises. If your landlord is not helping even after some written letters you sent, then you can consult with an attorney and terminate the lease. If that’s too expensive for you, you may choose to file a complaint instead. I saw a complaint section in RPA so you may want to check that out.

Good luck!
