The answer is that you don’t complain about the floor, you complain about the disturbance. Let the EC work out with the residents why this is happening. Your by-laws may not protect you against hard floors specifically but they do protect you against excessive noise.
As for the hard floors three and five storeys up – sound can travel in very strange ways in apartment blocks but I doubt if that’s an issue here.
