Get a top floor flat as long as there are factors and the roof is "decent" having neighbours above is a nightmare if they are noisy.

Advantage of top floor is you can insulate all the notice from your floor. If you have neighbours above you need to sound insulate top and bottom... Not good.

You can lift the floor boards up and install insulation. It can be expensive. Look it up on YouTube. But would help. The floors are literally like drums, there is thin drywall for the ceiling then loose wood floor boards. Sound travels via air and vibration.

Imagine a drum, it's loud when hit. But if you fill it up it won't resonate and make a noise.
