I've moved into a new house with oak floorboards over a concrete subfloor. The subfloor itself is uneven and the floorboards were seemingly laid floating, leading to quite a lot of squeaking and creaking when walking around on it.
Anyway, I want to lay down carpet over it without removing the floorboards. Is this advisable or do I need to remove them?
Also, will the carpet have any effect in getting rid of the squeaking? Would any specific type of carpet be better in dampening the noise?
Thanks in advance for any assistance
