How old was the building? Currently I'm in a noisy building — it was built in 1890, before rock wool was invented, to say nothing of fiberglass. It definitely tracks that floors tend to be worse than walls (especially bad with Euclidean zoning that encourages low ceilings and thin platforms).

The building was built in the 90s. Ultimately, the construction was very cheap.
