So far they have only added rubber bushings to the AC units bolts connected to the concrete pad-- helped some but seems to me that this house picks up vibration too easily due to metal in house structure/ceilings (studs/ceiling strips). Any experience & comments? tks

No. Not in either house here. One was frame, this one is block stucco. The homes are close together and some people have good hearing.

Most good hearing disappears over time.
