Rug Pad to Reduce Noise from Apartment Floors

Many apartment buildings have wood floors

Many apartment buildings have wood floors. These wood floors can add noise to people living below in another apartment. Using area rugs on apartment floors can help reduce some of the noise but a rug pad under the area rug will eliminate much of the noise. Not all rug pads can reduce noise and the best ones for noise reduction are solid, dense felt jute rug pads that range from 1/4 of an inch to 3/8 of an inch thick.

A felt jute rug pad provides maximum comfort, support and sound insulation under any area rug on any hard floor. Felt jute rug pads come in various weights. They range from 20 ounce to 40 ounce. The weight of the rug pad determines the amount of fiber there is compressed in a square yard of rug pad. The higher the rug pad weight, the more dense and thick the rug pad. While a 20 ounce felt jute rug pad will reduce noise, a 40 ounce will reduce even more noise as it is thicker and more dense.

The fact that a 40 ounce felt jute rug pad is very compact and dense gives it the ability to reduce noise on any hardwood or hard floor. A 40 ounce felt rug pad does not allow the foot step to push through the rug and through the rug pad to hit the floor. The density of the rug pad creates a resistance to absorb much of the noise associated with foot traffic. The density is perhaps one of the most vital points in a rug pad being able to reduce noise.

Since many apartments use wall to wall carpet, the carpet pad underneath is usually a soft, spongy pad. While this carpet pad may be comfortable, it also allows the weight of the foot step to push through right to the floor underneath, hence making noise to those living below. More and more residents are replacing this soft carpet pad with a more dense one such as a 40 ounce felt jute to provide maximum resistance and insulation against noise.
