First World Problems...
It was in the pool!
Old houses with hardwood floors have this peculiar problem, particularly if there is very little or no subfloor. They used to try to fill the gaps between the separating boards with putty mixed with sawdust, or chewing gum, or the blood of their enemies, or whatever. It never works.
Newer hardwood floors laid on subfloor is better! So I guess the only answer is to gut the old part of the house! Remove all of the flooring, add subfloor, then raise the ceilings because of the loss of height, then raise the second floor for the same reason, and then just nuke it from orbit!
Or fire. Fire fixes all ills!
