Long story short, the people in the room below me says they always hear my guitar strumming so I want to know what kind of accessories I can buy to lesson the noise of the "vibrating" or whatever it's called. I have purchased a feedback buster from amazon but don't know if that's enough or if there's more accessories to consider to be even quieter.

Acoustic guitar? Well there's your answer. It's an acoustic body. That's how it works.
Things you can do to reduce but not eliminate it. Modify your (strum) attack, use the thinnest .38 nylon pick, I haven't tried it personally but a soundhole cover/mute (?), try moving into another room, install soundproofing not really viable $$,$$$ wise for most of us, practice in another place, or be prepared for repercussions from p***** (off) neighbours.
Solid body electric guitar being played acoustically (without amplification)? They must have hyperacusis grade sensitive hearing. The law says, not [u]your[/u] problem. Still, not worth the aggro if it can be avoided with compromise IMV.
In situations like this, what readily comes to mind is either this -the pricier solution mention of which occurred in another thread today or an (inexpensive) solid body electric played either purely acoustically (no significant projected noise) or using a headset amp like this or this, or listened to with headsets plugged into your preferred device e.g. Blackstar Fly 3, are a popular pragmatic inexpensive alternatives. I'd suggest the Fly 3 Acoustic for playing acoustic, but you see the conflict. For acoustic, the acoustic volume and resonance remains.
