Normal
Re: Improving perceived loudness when system is constrainedThe frequency range in question isn't normally in the range of structure-borne vibrations, especially not over 4 floors vertically (what's on the intervening floors?). Are you certain that there are no air paths between the spaces (e.g. shared HVAC, elevator shafts, etc.)? And if it really is structure-borne, there's a reasonable chance it is realtively narrow-band in nature and may be possible to notch out.Deadening the studios can help with noise transmission, as a barrier alone is less effective than a barrier plus absorption. It would also likely help with sound in the room.
