I have already been granted some money from the community preservation committee from the local municipality, however I want to see if there are any other funds I could apply for.Thank you Hi Rich,These old time restorations really make the building special.Can we see a pic of it now, as work happens on it and a finished pic (I'm sure you will have a lot of pride of ownership with this).Also if you need to do A/C you might want to hide them in plain sight up high on the building (if they let you), such as over an alley on a lot line building.Just beware of vibration (noise) translated into the building framing from the mounts.And remember in some old buildings if they are 2x4 construction on the exterior walls, those 2x4s may run from the basement all the way to the attic with no firestops.

It is essentially a spring between the floor joists and the drywall that absorbs sound vibrations instead of transferring them through the joists.  

As mentioned above, a heavy (MLV-type) underlayment does wonders in reducing sound vibrations at the point of impact.

He said the downtown scene there  isn't vibrate like NYC or Chicago.

It reminds me of piping on a ship that would vibrate where there were long runs that weren't secured as tightly, or where a pump connected and introduced vibrations to the pipes.

I have never seen a logging show that there was not some oil or hydraulic fluid spilled somewhere that just goes part and parcel with big ironalso on the fill situation that can take years and years to get clean fill put in there then it has to settle as you will want to make compaction you just don't dump dirt spread it around and wa la your ready to go.. other wise you have to bring it in  in lifts with water and compactor .. like dozer sheep foot vibrator rollers etc.. but if the city or country does not care its your risk for ground movement 

Your most likely culprit in DFW is the soil composition being prone to uneven settling and that darn ever-present construction (and the vibrations large construction can send through the area).  

In my 7-unit we just removed them as they started vibrating and getting loud.

Also the wire itself starts to vibrate every so slightly but under heavy load it can get hot – really hot!

Residents have voiced concerns about where the vents will be placed and vibration from living on top of or near the tunnel.
