  Sound proofing floor
I am at the point that I don't need to modify or purchase anything else. But I am considering sound proofing the floor for the sake of my neighbors which know that I will lower the volume when they ask. I am considering raising the floor and making that raised floor decoupled from the room and insulated.
Any ideas?

Psacanli,
Thank you!
One other concern of mines(I know, it never ends) is the outgassing from the foam. I am not a health nut, actually a quite balanced health oriented individual. The outgassing is an important concern though, and in the winter when the stack effect forces air and vapors to move upwards it'll just end up saturating my living space. So I am hesitant with not just the foam but most materials that are being considered. I think the vinyl will not present as big an issue as foam would. The outgassing concern is what has kept me from going forward with this project as it has been on my mind for a while. Any suggestions Psacanli?
