The vertical elements facilitate transfer of air-borne acoustic vibration and transfer of an impact- or structure-borne acoustic vibration between the top layer and the bottom layer. What is needed is a floor assembly that lessens the transfer of air-borne acoustic vibration and transfer of an impact- or structure-borne acoustic vibration between the top layer and the bottom layer, for example, by not using any high density vertical elements.
