Floor Sound Proofing

Floor Sound Proofing

What is the meaning of the following article in the condominium rules and regulations?

Rules and Regulations: 3. Noise: Unless expressly permitted in writing by the association, no floor covering shall be installed in the units, other than the carpet or floor other cover installed by the developer. In any case, each unit owner will be required to cause there to be placed under the floor covering such to be between any floor covering and concrete as generally accepted slab materials for noise reduction and sound, so the soil is adequately soundcheck. What does the average layman language? can I ask the owner in the upstairs unit to sound properly test the floor? "I can ask certain actions if the upstairs unit has no intention of installing any new flooring or carpet?

In layman's terms, paragraph former means that the owners are not allowed to change the carpet or floor others without the written permission of the homeowners association. The second means that in addition paragragh require the permit, and even if they get permission, they have to install a carpet pad or other standard sound damping material between the carpet (or other land) and the subsoil. The purpose of all this, obviously, is to prevent the exact problem you have. There have been many lawsuits in recent years that Condo owners have sued the developers for not having enough soundproofing between floors of multifamily buildings. So it's a big problem, and this clause that recognizes and tries to solve the problem. If were you I would start by contacting the homeowners association, explain the problem and ask if you can inspect the unit suitable for flooring and soundproofing. A possible solution is to spray the insulation above the ceiling - that is, between the roof and the flat floor joists above. That is the most effective way to insulate between floors, and do not demand anything from the people upstairs. Good luck!
