Given the price of the apartments, the architects and engineers would very likely put in measures to isolate NVH from the machinery in the mechanical rooms above from the penthouse space below.
As for the machinery at the top - it depends, I guess. There will definitely be cooling towers on the rooftop levels. Water pumps for the chilled water system are likely to be near the top level as well. And there will also be an elevator machine room.
