I think it is a common problem and is usually caused by the kick.  One
solution is to suspend the kit and yourself on a wooden platform
isolated with tennis balls.  It sounds rather a big job, so I don't
know if there are any alternatives which may just isolate the kick
(assuming that is the only problem).  If you are friendly with the
neighbours it would be worthwhile trying to find out if it is just the
kick that's the problem.
