Carpet has great sound absorption qualities. Your home can become a noisy place with big screen TVs, speaker phones, computers and modern sound equipment. A cushion pad beneath the carpet greatly reduces such noise. Carpet works as a sound barrier between floors as it helps block sound transmission to lower level rooms.
