Not sure we'd be wise to go with tons of sand but I'll file that in the back of my mind!
Our block is from the 1930s and purpose built. Overall, sound insulation is good. Definitely far better than modern purpose built or conversion flats I have lived in.
It might be that there is no such thing as non-carpet flooring that is silent for blocks of flats. In that case, I guess we'll just have to look at carpets that can deal with the occasional pile of dog puke.
