Is it possible to get a cat to stop jumping off the top level of his cat tree?

My cat Gnocchi is a 15lb Ragdoll. We used to have a fully carpeted apartment, in which he would jump from the top of his 70" cat tree straight to the floor. The carpet acted as a cushion I guess. Well now we live in an apartment with vinyl flooring and I am not only worried about the noise, but also his bones/joints. When he jumps off the cat tree now it is a VERY loud thud which cannot be good for him. It is so loud that our downstairs neighbor came up and asked wtf we were doing. Luckily they were a cat lover and thought "potato dumpling" was a fitting name.

Besides the noise, I am worried he could hurt himself. Is there a way to train him not to leap off the top level of the cat tree, or should we just get a shorter cat tree? TIA
