I live on the top floor of a woodframe building with a concrete layer between my floor and the unit below. The problem is I can hear the people below when they slam their doors. Earplugs don't help because the noise is a vibration. Is there anything I can do to reduce this noise?

Talk to your neighbors and explain what is happening. Maybe they will become more considerate, but I doubt it would last for any length of time. Sorry, there's not much else you can do unless you can gain access to their ceiling and install some sound batting material.

I feel you pain. I live on the second floor in my unit, and I can hear the owner above me. It is especially rough at night time when I am trying to sleep, and on weekends when I like to sleep in late, and she doesn't. So, I am having to be woke up by the noise above me head.
Believe me, I tried talking to this woman and the Condo Association had us in a meeting, that was a waste of my time. Nothing really was solved.
I tried to get some installation but I had to have that approved by the Association and it was very costly, and I could not afford to pay for that.
I too, can hear the main door slam too.
There really is nothing you can do, after a while you will just get use to it.

I would contact the condo association and ask them if you can get them to write the people below to be more considerate. There isn't really much you can do other than get the people to stop this practice. You could retaliate but I doubt it would do much good. Some people are just natural Jerks. I wish I had a better answer but I can only relate to you the problems I have dealt with. Good luck
