ᐅ Vapor barrier only, no impact sound insulation?

Hi everyone,

I’m new to this forum and hoping to get a second opinion here.
Has the impact sound insulation been overlooked?
It seems that only a vapor barrier has been installed.

Best regards

I can’t see anything with that blur!
And you can’t either, right?

Is it possible to have a blurry image? You can see every pore like this. Joking aside, please take a proper picture (or pictures). That way, it’s easier to make a judgement. Of course, a description of the floor construction wouldn’t hurt either.

Where and what type of impact sound insulation do you expect or assume? Or what did you pay for it?

Thanks for your quick responses!

@bauenmk2020 unfortunately doesn’t work, the autofocus always focuses incorrectly. Sorry. Yes, the structure is quite thick, but there is always a dull sound when stepping. Yes, the cable is actually just lying there loosely.

@netuser I think it’s some kind of laminate. Unfortunately, I am only a tenant and can’t assess it precisely. Would an integrated impact sound insulation still cause a dull echo with every step?

@ypg and @Mycraft – sorry, somehow it’s not working better because of the autofocus. I already took about 20 pictures of the “spot.”

This is not due to the autofocus, as it is not focused on anything. It is because of the short distance; a regular lens, whether on a phone or a DSLR, can’t manage that. The question is why you set it up like that in the first place. Perhaps you should read the camera manual once... 😉
Use a greater distance! Or a macro lens 🙂

Or use the smartphone camera to get closer and tap on the spot you want to focus on. Otherwise, increase the distance as @ypg correctly mentioned.

If the cable runs directly under the floor, this could negatively affect the "walking feel" as well as the durability of the cable. However, I would first check exactly what type of cable it is, to make sure it’s not carrying any voltage.
