The real source of complaints
Kick and hi-hat pedals often create more trouble than the sticking itself. Even electronic drums can send heavy vibration into the floor. That is why mats and isolation layers matter so much.
What helps most
Practice pads, mesh heads, thick rugs, and a simple isolation platform usually give more benefit than chasing expensive soundproofing ideas. The goal is not silence. The goal is to lower impact and make practice more predictable.
Why schedule matters
A short session at a consistent time is easier for other people to live with than a loud session at random hours. Noise is partly a technical issue and partly a routine issue.
When electronic drums make sense
Electronic kits help a lot, but they do not remove pedal vibration. If your building is sensitive, treat the floor first and think of the kit second.
Quick summary
Control vibration first, then control volume, then control schedule.
