ᐅ House is very noisy between floors

Hello,
I have the following problem. We bought a fully basemented two-family house. Everything is fine so far, but unfortunately you can hear everything from one floor to the other. I have no explanation for this. The house was built in 1985, with precast concrete ceilings, screed, tiles, and wooden ceilings. In theory, there should be little to no sound transmission. When someone talks in the basement, you can hear every word on the ground floor, depending on where you are. Throughout the entire area, you can hear the speech, and in some parts, every single word. I am really puzzled and don’t understand it. I would like to find a solution to reduce this high sound transmission.

Good evening,

Even a professional wouldn’t have noticed that, I’m quite sure of it.
You shouldn’t bet on that, because that bet – though not yet fully stated – is already lost.
