I would ask the neighbours to remember their floor is your ceiling, like others suggest. And do it soon / combine with introducing yourself.
Ha, ha. I remember when we moved to our gaff in one of our neighbours opening gambits - he asked me to move my van as he wanted to park his van where my van was for reasons that were only important to him. I didn't actually own a van, so was a bit confused, but I still filed him under 'weird /silly' because, you know, if you want something from someone, you need to offer something too. Worth remembering. Maybe bring a bottle of wine...
I was halfway up a ladder at the time, mind.
A reasonable person will have no issue with you mentioning.
Hmmmm maybe but people are strange god only knows. Pick your moment, hope for the best...

Any insulation will have limited effect... as @Airhead pointed out, noises travel through the structure of the building as well. Our upstairs neighbours are absolutely fine, but we can here them leave via the stairs at the front of the house, even when we're all the way in the back of the extended part of our flat (we're ground floor, 1890s house converted into three flats). I'm certain floor insulation wouldn't make a difference.
Good luck!
