LOUD Pool Table?? Noise on Hardwood floors/open room?

Question

Considering putting a pool table on hardwood floor next to staircase. Afraid noise will be too much for kids sleeping upstairs and others watching TV downstairs.

Anyone have a pool table on wood floors that can help? Should I just put it in the garage?

Answer 1

I have a pool table on a tile floor,its loud when you break but thats about it.

Answer 2

you can put a rug under the table. also if  there's windows in the room, put some fabric curtains, it'll help dampen the sound

Answer 3

If it is too loud you could always play when they are awake.

Answer 4

Even if on carpet, pool tables are loud... and if that's an issue for you, then don't get one.

Answer 5

shouldnt be a problem at all - we fit them on wood floors all the time.

also, storing a table in a garage shouldnt damage the table in any way, if you do go that route.
