Staple insulation to your ceiling. Research to see if you can buy sound-dampening product, the thinner the better. Add a grid system that doesn't touch the ceiling or new insulation. Add Sheetrock onto the grid system. The insulation, the slight air gap and the grid system should add some peace to your home. It's too bad the neighbors won't make an effort too. More rugs, less running and dropping items, lighter footsteps would help a lot.
Are they owners or renters? If renters, have you talked to the owners? They do make sound proof batting to dampen sound. But you would have to open the ceiling..... you might see if they can drill holes and blow it in. I would make sure to do it, so it bugs the heck out of them.... not nice when neighbors don't cooperate.
But was it sound deadening insulation? Its a blue gray product. I would call that contractor back and find out what he used and tell him its not working. https://www.acousticalsurfaces.com/insulation/?gclid=CjwKEAjw6e_IBRDvorfv2Ku79jMSJAAuiv9Yeoe_fE01Dn_sgqi2aMIwHozEr_67I5gOX71wSylseBoCoDXw_wcB
I do understand, I hate people walking over my head, dropping stuff etc. I always look for concrete construction. Sorry. Are there any top floor units for sale?
