Choice of underlay foam for laminate/parquet

[tyomka]

Hi!
We had bought a house from the 40s with some squeaky floors upstairs. We were thinking of laying new laminate flooring in certain rooms to start with. And we wonder if there are any specific recommendations for extra soundproofing and such. Or should we just buy the most expensive and thickest available for the best results?

Grateful for any tips!

You can only get rid of the creaking if you address the underlying problem. Then the subfloor needs to be even enough to lay laminate flooring, which floors from the 1940s rarely are...
