Introduction Soundproofing your floor is vital for creating a peaceful living or working space. If you live in a multi-storey building then you will know how irritating it is to have noise seep into your living space from above and below you. Similarly, if you are in an office with poor soundproofing, then you will understand how hard it is to focus without calm and quiet. This article aims to show you a few practical things that you can do to help soundproof your floor and hopefully create that peaceful living and working space that you desire.   Types of Noise to Soundproof  When soundproofing a room, there are two types of noise that you want to reduce. - Impact Noise: Impact noise is sound that comes from direct contact with the floor, such as footsteps, moving furniture or dropping something. - Airbourne Noise: Airbourne noise is sound from sources such as televisions, computers and people talking. To effectively soundproof, you should try to mitigate both types of noise.   Soundproofing Ideas - Carpets and Rugs: The fibres that make up carpets and rugs are excellent at absorbing noise vibrations. This means that footfall is much quieter on carpet and anything dropped on a rug will be significantly quieter. If you are laying new flooring in a noisy multi-storey building then consider laying carpet to help soundproof your space. If you are redecorating a loud workspace, then consider laying carpet tiles down to help soundproof your space. #FloatingFloors...
