quiet underlayment for carpet on 2nd floor
I have a room above my sound studio downstairs. What is the best
underlayment materials I can use under my carpet upstairs to reduce impact noise from footsteps? I heard someone said I can use a layer of cork underlayment first, followed by a carpet pad, then finally the carpet. I searched through the newsgroups regarding this and it appears most people use cork underlayments for wood floors and not for carpeted floors. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks |

The cork sounds like it'd work. You can get 90-weight (heaver than
typical) carpet padding too. Experiment. -- (||) Nehmo (||) |
