Soundproofing floor

[AnonymousTomato]

Does anyone have suggestions as to how to soundproof a floor from sounds from the flat below. It's a concrete floor and I'm about to replace the covering from carpet to engineered wood/laminate/antiquo but can i put anything down to help reduce noise coming up from below? Thanks

thick carpet with heavy felt underlay.

Does your lease permit you to put down hard flooring?

My lease technically doesn't but I wouldn't be the only one to have broken the lease

Can you put underlay under hard flooring to help soundproof things?

Agreed with the thick carpet being the best way. You can get an isolating system where the floor deck sits on rubber dampers but that's not specialist.
I'm waiting for the thread next month about the person above got laminate floor and it's driving them mad! We've had enough of them to go round.

There's acoustic underlay you can put under laminate.

I live in a ground floor flat. The person above me has wood/laminate flooring... (against the lease)

Please do not do it!!!

very good quality underlay and thick carpet best solution all round for you and your neighbours.

Ok so it turns out that it is a very well sound proofed floor and is solid concrete the noise I was hearing was coming up the chimney which obviously can’t be blocked due to a fireplace
