You sound like my downstairs neighbor.
As a guy who lives on the third floor, the responses in this thread are bullshit! Blame the archetecture and your bad decision to live on the second floor for your current predicament. Us third floor tenants are not that loud. The buildings are made so cheaply that the floors are paper thin. When i walk across the room to throw away my applesauce you think I'm stomping. So break your lease and get a house(or move to the third floor)if you want complete silence.
