Stone buildings (also brick, concrete) are far more soundproof.
Wood is an excellent resonator. Thus why it's used extensively in percussion and string instruments, and even in more primitive versions of woodwinds (see that, oh so clevarr). And, oh, yes, high-end sound systems.
Living in a wood structure is not great - they're like very badly engineered sound chambers with lots of hollow resonating cavities.
Find a stone structure to inhabit. Quiet, and also cooler in the summer because stone has more "thermal mass". You won't hear your upstairs neighbors, unless they start construction work on the floor above you.

in a wood frame building where upstairs noise is brutal!
I'm in a concrete building, much less noise!

I pay a TON of rent in Vancouver to live in a top floor suite and I made sure before hand (as sure as I could) that the people next door were long term and didn't have kids and it's a pet-free building. With this i found a VERY, VERY peaceful home that although is expensive is WORTH EVER SINGLE PENNY!

Have some very dis respectful neighbors.
Found a little massager in London Drugs and taped it to the ceiling when I went to work graveyard.
It's amazingly quiet upstairs now,can't figure for the life of me why????
