Who among us has not lived in a multiple unit building or a multi-family and had neighbors living on top of us?
Well if you haven’t, how is the weather over in Idaho?
If you have, I’m sure we all know that the combination of hardwood floors + a wood frame building = (sometimes) a stomping scene from the Blue Man Group.
Especially if your upstairs neighbor has kids or a stiletto fetish.
Obviously it has a lot to do with exactly how the building was constructed but you can always hear and feel when something is going on with your upstairs and downstairs neighbors.
My suggestion, which will not eliminate but will most definitely make everybody’s life much quieter is: buy an area rug, also referred to as a carpet and place it on the HWF (hard wood floor). And in a perfect world, get that special under-rug-rubber-thingy and place it under the rug to prevent slippage.
And remember folks “A rug can do a lot more than tie a room together.” — The Dude
