Wife and I are thinking of refurbishing our home, having decided to spend our retirement here (and spend money saved by not moving on extravagant holidays once /if that becomes possible again).
I would like to have wood (possibly bamboo) laid on the solid concrete living room floor (30'x12 1/2') and have a couple of large rugs over that. Other possibility would be to have fitted carpet (preferably wool/wool blend).
I would expect that there would be quite a dramatic difference in the way that sound waves would behave with a wood floor
Anyone have personal experience of change from wood floor to fitted carpet or vice versa in terms of sound quality? (just "flying a kite" at the moment).
