What kind of carpet pad to use for noise reduction?
vovik asked:
My landlord requested to cover 80% of a hard-wood floor with a carpet after my neighbor below complained on footstep noise. They say they may accept rugs but only with padding. I am only able to find pads helping to protect carpets from wearing and stop rugs slipping on a floor but not to cancel the noise. Solution must be cheap. Professional acoustic pads like the ones for sound recording studios are too expensive.

Even if you have to use area rugs, you can use the padding intended for wall to wall carpet under them. Just 3 days ago I did this over a laminate floor that was too noisy. You can buy padding at most home improvement stores. It costs between $4 and $9 per sq. yard. You can pad a 12×12 rug for $80 or less. Just stick the pad to the bottom of the rug with double sided tape. Cut the pad 4″ short of the edge of the rug. This will provide adequate noise reduction and increase comfort. fakest forest
