I have a hard time believing someone could reliably hear the difference between finished hardwood, linoleum, or laminate flooring.
I can tell if you have a no wax or waxed finish on the floor...
I interned at a commercial studio that had concrete floors and the room sounded great. They did have a large rug in the middle of the room though. I would prefer wood but can't afford it. Marble deal didn't work out, anyone have any ideas for a cheap floor solution that would be aesthetically and acoustically pleasing? Thanks.Concrete is going to act just like Marble basically. The wood will have some 'give' to it and be a bit warmer sounding. Yes, it's still reflective but not nearly as much so as concrete or marble.
