Complete info about it can be read here. Also, why does my laminate floor creak when I walk on it?
When the subfloor is squeaking, it's usually because the installers used nails, and the nails are pulling away from the joists. When a laminate floor covering is squeaking, on the other hand, it could be because the subfloor isn't level, there's no underpadding or the boards have expanded and then shrunk again.
Likewise, why does my floor pop when walked on? Floors Pop/Oil Can Noise: If your floors squeak only when you walk across them and sounds like an oil can (a metal flexing sound), you probably have an HVAC duct that is deflecting when the floor moves. This allows the joists to deflect without rubbing on the metal.
Keeping this in view, is laminate flooring noisy to walk on?
Laminate flooring is noisy underfoot. Since laminates are quite rigid and are installed directly on the subfloor, they can be quite loud when walked on. Over time, scratches and dents may occur in your laminate installation.
How do you fix a noisy laminate floor?
The quickest and easiest way to fix a squeaky floor is to put some talcum powder down into the joints surrounding the area that is squeaking. This will buffer the pieces as they flex under foot traffic; rather than rubbing against each other and thus squeaking and creaking, the pieces rub against the powder.
