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 ?

+1 sbank, a natural wool rug will absorb better. I've been told that by a recording engineer. He recommended hanging a wool rug behind my speakers (it vented out the back) to keep the sound from transmitting down to my neighbor below me.

It did the trick.

All the best,

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,
