You can get a lot of sound proofing by double layering drywall with an air gap in-between in exchange for some floor space.



My apartment ceiling has a ~60cm air gap with air conditioner ducting and stuff inside, not sure how responsible it is but I hear basically nothing from above me. Same for the side walls although I believe those are just super dense fire proof walls.
