Re: Improving perceived loudness when system is constrainedThe white/pink noise signal idea is certainly useful, and is far more likely to be a cost effective solution than addressing the structure. I would pursue that first if it were me...... treat with that, as close to the 5th floor spaces as possible, then fall back to physical treatment if it is still not satisfactory.http://www.atlassound.com/Solutions/Categories/1228/SOUNDMASKING.htmlI would recommend someone like Wes Lachot or Geoffrey Hedgeback for consultation on further possible treatment techniques if you need to address the structure further, like HVAC mufflers and other solutions.CheersJeff
