I got a chance to check out some of the higher floors(4-8....hoist unit on 4th). The walls between rooms are insulated so if you did opt to drywall upto the ceiling then most of the sound should drown out. If you got the 7 foot walls, there are pipes which run to the ceiling in the bathroom area, not sure whether they will drywall these sections but it's an eye sore to say the least. i wish i took pictures, if i get a chance next time i will do just that. I was there about 3 weeks ago and they just started to frame the 8th floor units. 7th floor already had completed drywall while the sixth floor and below all had doors and were locked so i couldnt see anything. The 9ft ceilings are great and it feels spacious, i didn't notice much about the concrete walls as they looked fine to me. Since im doing engineered flooring etc, i didnt give the floor finishing much attention. I hope all the purchasers got cap ceilings(electrical housing for light fixtures).
