Is laminate flooring upstairs noisy?

Question

We're thinking of having one room fitted with laminate upstairs (used mainly as an office / spare bedroom). But we're quite concerned that this is going to be noisy for anyone who is sitting below that room. Is this a legitimate concern? Is there anything we can do to dampen the effect?

Hello, it may be a bit noisy when used by children, but with normal use it is ok. Thank you for asking and have a nice day.

It can be noisy but if you get a decent sound reduction underlay like timber floor then that can reduce it to quite an extent

It’s a valid concern, as laminate can be noisier than carpet. However, in an office or spare bedroom it’s usually not a problem. Using a good acoustic underlay and proper installation will significantly reduce noise, and adding a rug helps even more.

It is noisy compared to carpet but you can get sound reducing underlay which significantly reduces noise.
