That will not solve your impact sound problem. Weight is king.
Yes and no. As the OP describes it, the disturbing noise here does not primarily come from vibration but from resonance. In this respect, the idea of sound damping is not wrong at all.
But basically, I agree with the strategy to address the issue above the joist level. This would at the same time offer the opportunity to use the joists purely for design purposes on the underside of the ceiling.
