Reccs to reduce noise between floors?

[mysticmark]

Hi, our flat has laminate flooring, on quite thick underlay, then floorboards, then flat below.

We want to reduce noise to flat below CHEAPLY.

The laminate looks nice, so was thinking a large rug that leaves a bit of the hard floor showing around edge rather than carpetting fully, with a good quality underlay.

Any personal experience of doing sthg similar?

Thanks

We are at the receiving end of this. They put a carpet down over thick underlay (there is a section in the lease that forbids any wooden flooring). It?s made a bit of a difference but not much to be honest. If anything the upstairs tenants now bounce around on the nice plush carpet so noise is worse sometimes...
