Hi,
Which version of ACI gives charts of natural frequency vs thickness of slabs that help to choose the thickness to avoid undesired floor vibration?

I'm not aware of such a chart.

In North America, the pseudo-standard document for vibration of concrete floors is the CRSI design guide:
It is essentially the 1st edition of the AISC Design Guide 11 with helpful equations for the natural frequency and effective mass of concrete systems.
 
ACI 350 had natural frequency of beams. There are design guides for slabs Link
