Good day,
who can give me a tip on improving soundproofing in a condominium?
Starting point:
I have thought of the following:
The following questions:
Who has a similar starting point and good experience with soundproofing? I am grateful for any advice.

who can give me a tip on improving soundproofing in a condominium?
Starting point:
[*]Old building, built around 1930
[*]Ceiling to the floor above: wooden beams
[*]On each side of the beams, there is battens
[*]On the battens lie formwork boards: two directly on the battens, with the next formwork board resting on these two, and so on
[*]From the lower edge of the formwork board to the lower edge of the beam: 9 cm clear height
[*]The battens will later be placed under the beams
[*]The floor above probably lies directly on without impact sound insulation
[*]The floor above is NOT accessible, as it belongs to the neighbor’s apartment
[*]All noises from the neighbor living above can be heard almost unfiltered
[*]Room height is tight, typical for old buildings; I do not want to "take away" more than the battens (3 cm * 5 cm)
I have thought of the following:
[*]Insulation with mineral wool between the beams. The battens create a stepped cavity... obviously not optimal, but cannot be changed
[*]A vapor barrier below the mineral wool
[*]Battens installed "loosely," i.e., with spring rails
[*]Plasterboard panels mounted to the battens
[*]“Floating contact” with the walls
The following questions:
[*]What else could I do to improve soundproofing?
[*]I want to combine thermal and sound insulation as optimally as possible
[*]I found soundproofing foam boards on the internet, for example used to insulate musicians' rehearsal rooms. Supposedly fire retardant, but is that a good idea? Such an installation could only be mounted over the entire area at the level of the battens
[*]The spring-mounted battens are supposed to contribute to soundproofing...
Who has a similar starting point and good experience with soundproofing? I am grateful for any advice.
