If I'm not mistaken, either solution can go over the building floor and any material (laminate, carpet, wood, tile, etc) you use to cover the floor, but under the booth floor, assuming the booth has its own floor.

THat sounds cool Frank. So they go on top of the floor rather than under it? That would make it easier .


There are TWO floors in some of these posts. There is the floor of the room, the floor of the building. Then there is the floor of the BOOTH being built.... if you choose to install a floor in your booth.

In the discussion about U-boats, etc., we are talking about things that go on top of the floor of the building but underneath the floor of the booth.

If there is nothing that stops sound between the two floors, why have a floor in the booth. Just build walls and a top, and let the building floor be the booth floor also. In some buildings, that would be a reasonable choice. In other situations, not so much.

Yes, under the floor of the booth and on top of the laminate you intend to out down. That assumes you have a floor to the booth. If no booth floor, then you would need to put MLV/MLR under the entire booth AND under the subfloor/laminate (a sandwich; so to speak) and over the asbestos tiles you mentioned.

Double the MLV/MLR cost, but double the vibration deadening.

Cool. This gives me a couple of options. I have to get a decent floor in there but won't know for a little while exactly how long I'll have this particular place. If I can do this on top of whatever floor I put down, it'll make it easier because I can just concentrate on getting the floor in for now.

For the room itself, you could opt for a floating, click-together laminate floor that would not have to be permanently fastened to the subfloor, nor are the individual boards glued to each other. It could even be disassembled and relocated if you needed to move to a different unit.
