Your screwed. Better sound absorbing materials may help keep the higher frequencies from going downstairs. But, low frequencies will still get through. It's practically impossible to keep low frequency sound coming from a room on top of another. If you had unlimited funds, and really good sound/structural Engineer, you might have some luck. But, it would probably be less expensive to just move to a single family dwelling.
