Soundproof Your Floor

How to soundproof a floor from noisy neighbours? It must be done at the SOURCE (unfortunately, if you live in a building)

How do you stop noise transfer between floors?

General Contractor messed up sound proofing on new room?

Low construction quality results in noises from the floor above

Ask your neighbors who live below you what they think about those impact sounds

Soundproofing drives up the construction cost, which makes any project less profitable, so the developer is predisposed NOT to do it

Impact noise is one of the most stressful, intrusive and frustrating types of noise to deal with in an apartment or a house

You’ll usually hear it from the floor above you

Insulating the floor is the best way to stop impact noise from vibrating across the floor . Loud footsteps in the kitchen can translate to reverberations in the living room if they're on the same floor

It could be high heels, footsteps, shoes, a chair sliding across a wood or tile floor, loud kids jumping on the floor or something falling on the floor. Impact noise travels freely through a structure and through air pockets

Make your home a peaceful living environment

This video is a practical guide to soundproofing floors in your home

The best way is to treat at the SOURCE of the noise and install damping materials under the finish floor

The more energy we have on the floor, the louder that floor is going to be

STOP the noise! Cork and rubber will absorb that energy and will deaden the impact noise

If you have a concrete floor, just don't go fixing the wooden floor directly to the concrete floor

Required: Click lock system wood flooring

The surface / floor must be flat, dry and clean

Do not glue anything, the key word is: ELASTIC and SOFT MATERIALS

If you glue it, you will harden the construction, don't do that

How to reduce noise transmission - you must isolate the floor from walls and screed

You should use SOFT materials such as cork and rubber (Soprema Texfon in this case)

How to lay down cork and rubber? Each in DIFFERENT direction. Make sure there are no gaps between them

Underlayments are ideal for soundproofing floors. They serve to lift the finished surface up and away from the structure that connects the rooms together. By forcing the disconnection, the floor underlayment will decouple foot noise by absorbing its impact, thus minimizing the strength of the vibration.

Do NOT drive any nails or screws into the floor or walls

Try walking on this floor. It feels so soft and smooth

More about impact noise sound:
What Is Impact Noise? Impact noise is when the vibration of a sound travels through a medium other than the air and occurs when two or more objects collide. Examples of impact noise include a construction jackhammer, a ball bouncing on the floor above you or water sloshing through pipes

The best way is to treat at the source (the floor above you) and installing a damping material under the finish floor

Rubber matting can be used to great effect in reducing noise levels in a room

When installed correctly, rubber and cork mats can reduce the transmission of noise between floors. Rubber mats can help to absorb impact noise, making them ideal for use in high-traffic areas or areas where there is a need to reduce noise levels. Rubber is a naturally shock-absorbent material, it can help to reduce the impact of noise on the floor and on the people in the room

In addition, rubber is also a good insulator, which means it can help to keep a room warm in winter and cool in summer. Rubber serves as an excellent sound-absorbing flooring. It has enough impact-absorbing properties to cut down on the noise from heavy items banging into the subfloor. It naturally absorbs sound waves too, preventing them from echoing through the area and bothering neighbours

And no, it's not cheap. Forget all the "CHEAPEST WAYS HOW TO SOUNDPROOF A ROOM FLOOR" you've seen on the web, that's bs. There's no such thing as cheap (AND EFFECTIVE) soundproofing

Appropriate and good acoustics are essential in ALL living spaces
