Have been living together with my brother with only one wall in between that has nothing in between and let me tell you: two drywalls with air in between resonates just right on a mechanical keyboard at 2am. Now obviously floors have quite different standards even just when it comes to the load they have to carry, but that said, there’s things that make it better and worse. Carpets can be good, dampening in between is good, putting little silicon plates in between stuff that connects to the floor is also good.

And then ofc if they decided to start dropping pianos on the daily, that might make a difference.

Either way, talking to them is probably the best option. There’s not really much you can do about noise from the floor above you.
