If you have more than one floor in your home you can experience noise problems, such as steps or leakage of sound between floors. If you want to soundproof the second floor of your home, so that the noise does not leak above the bottom, you have several options available. The best course of action depends on how finished the second floor before soundproofing and how soundproof floor must be.

Instructions

1. Place a soundproofing material, as a coating or acoustic cork underlayment before installing the floor in the rooms on the second floor if the main floor was not installed yet. Coating of cork and the acoustic coating creates a barrier against noise between floors and can be placed under many soil types, including wood and carpet. Both types of coating are installed directly to the subfloor with adhesive.
2. Place a mat on the floor to create basis soft steps and absorb the sounds. To reduce noise, line the floor under the rug with a cork or foam coating.
3. Add carpets for hard floor surfaces. As with carpets, lining the floors beneath the carpets with a sound absorbing layer, such as cork or foam, or a piece of carpet cut to the size of the carpet, Place small carpets where you can walk around the room without stepping on the wooden floor to silence footsteps.
4. Cover the floor with rubber tiles if the main room floor has already been installed and do not want to raise the floor to install an acoustic coating. Rubber tiles blocks together at their edges to cover the entire floor. Rubber tile flooring can be installed on any type of ground, but stay together more effectively and provide a stronger noise reduction, on hard floors.
5. Lining the walls of the second floor and acoustic curtains if you want the whole room is soundproof panels. Standard bars hanging curtains or shades fixed directly to the walls. Acoustic panels usually come with their own installation tool, consisting of a hanger and screws, as well as the tools that come with a picture frame.
