LVP or carpet in upstairs units

We're currently in the process of renovating a top level apartment unit in a 2 floor building and debating on whether to go with carpet for noise reduction or LVP for looks and durability.  My preference is LVP but our PM has suggested to go with carpet on the top units to reduce noise complaints.  Any tips and experiences on using LVP with minimal noise would be greatly appreciated.  I figured that the BP community would be the best folks to ask about this!  Thanks!

    Menards has the sound dampening underlayment for a pretty reasonable price.
