Assisted Wood

Can something be placed under carpet padding and carpet to deal with sound problem?

Sump pump under the bedroom irritates me when it goes off. The bedroom has a hard wood floor and I would like to carpet it to get ahead of this irritant. I believe vibration and sound are easily transmitted through the hard wood floors and there is not much subfloor in place. Should I have something laid under the padding to assist with sound control and if so what and where do you get it?

The easy way is to ask the carpet guys to double pad your floor for you. This will cost you next to nothing.
After that I’d look into the source itself,….the pump. Put pipe insulating foam on the pvc drain pipe, 2 or 3 pieces of foam carpet pad under the pump to stop the vibration, and 10″ of insulation between your floor joists to stop the noise from reaching you.
As a last resort you can have the sump pump pit relocated to the opposite side of the basement or crawlspace.
