Think of the noise associated with a wooden floor, and then compare this with a carpet flooring. You’ll notice how much noisier a wooden floor is, however, this needn’t be the case.
Have you ever considered asking your neighbours what they can hear? This is one way you can determine whether you need to soundproof areas within your home or apartment.

Wooden floorboards are renowned for the odd squeak here and there but if they’re fitted correctly, you can ultimately reduce the sound of your flooring.
