Sound carpet

Hi,

Recently my wife replaced my beloved shag carpet in the living room with a thin one and sound became cold and noisy. When I return the old one sound is warm and quiet again.
Any solution you know of ? Any product exists that can be put under the carpet that is not too thick for She Who Must Be Obeyed to complain about ?

Grow a pair and tell her this is a must.

Area rug. Possibly treat reflection points at side walls, too.

Assuming this is a new area rug and not wall to wall, I would find a piece of foam carpet pad at the big box stores. Have it cut to size just smaller than the new rug by  a few inches, and place it underneath. The extra padding could help.  And it won’t cost you much to give it a try.

Meet her in the middle with a rug that's halfway as thick as your shag carpet and twice as thick as her thin one. If all it took was going down in thickness then coming back up some should do the trick.

All the best,
Nonoise
