Before approving an acoustic underlay, it would be wise to get a copy of the product's acoustic test report which should include a description of the entire floor and ceiling assembly.

Double check it matches your building's construction type. For starters, was it tested with or without a suspended ceiling?
Because floor underlayment companies wish to advertise the highest IIC acoustic rating for their product, it's not uncommon to add a suspended ceiling with sound batt insulation and up to 2 layers of drywall to reduce sound transmission and increase the test score. Keep in mind these types of ceilings are not typical of most high-rise condos in Canada.
It's not easy, but with change comes progress.
Choosing the Right Acoustic Underlayment in a Condo Matters
RHINO Sound Control ® achieved a test score of FIIC 70 when field tested over an 8" concrete floor and ceiling assembly with NO added suspended ceiling.
RHINO Sound Control ® exceeds the recommended Building Code of IIC 55.
