Bottom line is OP, put up with it or look to move because nothing can be done about it!

True! But we have to start somewhere.
Buy the child a console, games and tv. Hopefully it will then spend it's time playing on it.
You could also mix this up and buy it copious amounts of sweets over a long peroid of time, it'll gain weight and whilst the banging may get louder when it travels around, over time you should see a decrease in the frequency of movement as it slowly develops type 2 diabetes.

Im on the same boat, from 6/7am till 1/2am the kid just runs back and forth along the hallway, which is my livingroom and bedroom, i feel like im living in a nut house! just sooo annoying and blatand disrespect from the partents. I am lucky though, i will be moving in a few weeks, but i can see it far enough.
Do you simply not understand the concept of the word "or"?
Lay down a soft carpet or put them in slippers to prevent banging.

I understand it perfectly. I also agree with the 'or parental discipline' aspect of your argument. My issue is with the 'self' part of it. Which you clearly don't understand as your silly reply indicates, so I shall cease trying to communicate further with you on this as it's clearly over your head.
Oh my. It gets better and better.

I'm in a similar situation, though not as bad as you. People above me have 18 months old. Unfortunately there really isn't a lot you can do. Kids are kids.
Sometimes I put Slipknot on fairly loud (during the day) on all my Sonos speakers if the kid makes too much noise. They seem to get the message fairly quickly when I do that.

Nice generalisation, but no. It's not about benefits, its about them being chav scum. Rotting cars on the drive, broke three of our fence panels. basically, they couldn't afford to live there, but lived there from the government without contributing to anything.
What would I prefer people do? How about proper council rental schemes? How about finding land lords which wanted their money? If not, well there's not much you can do - what do you propose? Not moving out the ghetto for starters?
About 10 years ago me and the ex gf had 5 kids in the flat above. Nothing we could do, you have to remember they're not doing it on purpose, unlike some adults who blast their tunes all day.
It's annoying for sure. Next place you get try and make sure it's a top flat

See that would annoy me because they obviously can get the child to chill out they just choose not to until you make a point of it.

Little funny story:
At university i lived in a semi with a couple of people. We didnt think we were particularly loud but we probably were at times, especially during a day session of competitive console gaming. Our neighbours were a young couple and they didnt really take too kindly to our shouting and screaming. The bloke was usually apologetic and kindly asked us to keep it down often but his wife was pretty rude and came guns blazing about a little bit of background music 7pm on a friday. This sort of stuff happened every few weeks and we tried out best to keep things down after the complaint but volumes creep as they usually do with time and as you forget yourself when having fun. Funnily we never had complaints from the elderly couple next door, we always chalked it down to not sharing a wall so sound not carrying through.
That year we decided to go to Nottinghill carnival and got wasted to return to some pretty loud music coming from both Gardens either side of us (louder than we ever played ours). We decided to crack open a another pack of beers when the doorbell rang and found a note outside saying 'Sorry about the noise, welcome to join #76'. We thought 'sweet, lets pop by' and went to knock on the young couples door much to the the surprise of the bloke next door (we realised at that point the note was passive aggressive and sarcastic). He invited us in and we went to the garden where we received evils from his young wife and her friend. After an awkward drink, she snidely said 'Didnt think you would bother coming with such a great party happening at your house!'. Confused we said we had been at Nottinghill carnival and the music currently playing was coming from the next house over (elderly couple). Ended up getting ****ed with them and having a great time. Turns out that they were mostly annoyed radio blasting from gardens at mid morning on a weekday from the elderly couples house while they gardened but mistook it for us the whole year. It was funny since we were never in to hear the music much or answer complaints from them at those times (they believed we just didn't want to go answer the door). They were only a handful of years older and became regular BBQ and party guests the following year after we moved house.

Funnily enough avenged I used to live next door to a couple of pensioners and had something similar. The pair of them were deaf as posts so always always had the TV or radio really loud. They then started getting wind chimes for their garden which drove me nuts.

Buy a detached house simples. You don't actually own anything, all you have is a lease for X no of years. And as long as you share the same building you won't have full control.
Your mistake was purchasing a property that is below a rented property.
I was a tenant a few years ago in a upper floor flat of a terrace, was great for a few years had a couple of sets of decent tenants who were considerate.
Then had a Polish chappy move in who liked to start his motorbike at 2am which was about 3 feet from my bedroom window.
Often came home to my floors shaking too from crappy music.
He was absolutely ignorant to the issue and in the end I just moved out.
Which brings me to my first point, don't buy a house that has a rented property attached to it!
