I've heard about these and there was some discussion of them a few  
months ago. They sound very promising as a construction method, and  
also for more affordable housing. Our problem is post-construction  
solutions.

Does anyone know what can be done between floors to stop sound  
transmission in an already constructed building?

The Great Zabaldo assures me that someone knows how to do it --  
someone knows everything. I'm still trying to find this particular  
person.
