To improve soundproofing in homes with hardwood floors, you can start by adding area rugs or carpets, which help absorb sound. Use soundproofing underlayment beneath the hardwood to reduce noise transmission between floors. Installing acoustic panels or curtains can further dampen sound within the room. Additionally, filling gaps in the floor and walls with sealant or acoustic caulk prevents sound leaks. Adding furniture like bookshelves or upholstered pieces also helps absorb and block noise, creating a quieter environment.
