Roger let me clarify, when adding soundproofing under hardwood flooring one
must install a sub floor 2x4's on 16'' centers will work nicely, you can buy
sand at Home depot in bags with no moister, fill the area between 2x4's with
sand then add 3/4'' tongue and groove plywood, be sure to apply liquid nail's
to the top of the 2x4's before laying down plywood to stop any squeaking, then
apply hardwood flooring. It's as solid as concrete.

Peace!
