    squeaky floor

    I don't have much information from the previous owner. From the feel of it, it is not gypcrete under the flooring. It feels hollow more like maybe boxed matrix underneath. The age is about 15 yrs old. I don't know what size and levels mean. The noise is located 6 areas in the entire apt. The...
