Easiest way of soundproofing a floor is to rip up the carpet and padding then remove the boards and line alot of plastic down, then fill it all with sandand staple-gun plastic over it, relay the boards and etc.
Hi Bob,

Don't meant to hijack this thread, but I have some questions.

What kind of plastic do you recommend?
Any links to a particular product?
Would this be better than MLV?
What kind of STC numbers would you expect?
Can you cite any links to this kind of activity?

It sounds like you're suggesting to remove the carpet, pad and subfloor. I wouldn't consider that "easy", and I've done quite a bit of home improvement type stuff...

I posted here a while ago, about soundproofing my basement. Any suggestions?

Edit: This post somehow magically appeared over at the link mentioned above. Maybe a mod moved it over there and didn't say anything, maybe I screwed up, but I will be happy to continue this discussion over there, as it is a more appropriate forum for a soundproofing discussion.

Thanks!
