Sound Insulation:
This is a multifamily home. You will hear steps from the floor above because New England house structures are old and sound and vibrations travel easily. We have added thick sound insulation in ceilings to reduce that as much as possible, as a result, 95% of guests are not bothered by the sound. However, you will still hear steps. This is not a bunker.
