Carpet!
 

Is adding a carpet on ceramic tiles can improve sound?
Thanks

Most definitely! :yes:

In most instances I would prefer a rug or carpet on the floor over tile or hardwood. The nice thing about a rug is you can easily compare the two scenarios. Adding carpeting is another story.

Adding carpet or a rug will dampen the ringing and sound reflections from the ceramic tile floor

Thanks all for your replies !
Very appreciated.

Thats even true with my XRT 28 line arrays.

Yes carpet good, ceramic bad.

Carpets improved our acoustics a lot (we have oak floors).

Our club just remodeled the bar/tavern area. In the infinite wisdom of the interior designer and our GM, they overruled the member committee and decided to install prefabricated wood planks.

Good news : The room looks great.

Bad news : You can’t understand what a person 6 feet away from you is saying if there are more than 10 people on the place. They now have quotes from acoustical company to install stretch fabric and fiberglass absorption across the entire ceiling - for $35,000. Stupid.

YES - in the absence of ceiling and wall absoprtion, carpeting on your floors is a critical item.

Next time you go into a bare room (no furniture, no rugs, no curtains) just clap your hands and listen to the echo. The room is too bright and the crappiest and most expensive system will sound similar in a room like that. When I looked at our current house before buying I noted the high gabled ceiling and loft and large cubic area and I was very concerned how my system would sound, but it was the house we wanted so we bought it.When we moved, filled the room with furniture, rugs and window treatments, it calmed right down and sounded just terrific. Good sized space for resonance but well dampened so no real echo-barn effect. The room correction made it even better, of course (23% as I recall).
