In August, I'm moving into a small condo with hardwood floors. What is the best thing to put under area rugs for absorption?

i use about a inch ( once shag pile is on top of two layers of that underlay from link) but what's the significance of that from a acoustic point of view?Whatever will let air through. Make the rug and underlayment an inch thick if you can.
At the risk of stating the obvious, the purpose here is to get rid of the sound waves hitting the floor and getting to your ear. In acoustics 101, we would want to block everything above transition frequencies of a 200 to 300 Hz. That would call for an absorber that is at least 4 inches thick. Here is a simulation of one:i use about a inch ( once shag pile is on top of two layers of that underlay from link) but what's the significance of that from a acoustic point of view?
It does actually. It is one of the parameters in there. Alas, it is impossible to have the measurements for rugs and such.I point this out because i'm not sure if your model takes into account the density of the absorbent material?
I will send you mine to tryIt does actually. It is one of the parameters in there. Alas, it is impossible to have the measurements for rugs and such.
Yea and you would want each seat to have a picture of the individual members of 'the village people' so you could sit on a different one every day of the week!The problem with that idea is that you would want the sofa in pink zebra color and no else would. So the business does not scale.
ROTFLMAO, Good one AmirThe problem with that idea is that you would want the sofa in pink zebra color and no else would. So the business does not scale.
At this rate my rug will be higher than my sofa anyways .At this rate, I will be sitting on the rug, thank you very much!
I'm not sure what you a referring to here.It does actually. It is one of the parameters in there. Alas, it is impossible to have the measurements for rugs and such.
