Leveling and sound-isolating a new floor
With the range of experience on this site, what are the thoughts on how to spec the renovation of an attic (over bedroom living space) that currently as a functional but wavy and irregular floor, to
1) Be level and
2) be sound isolating?
The total level about of out of vertical plumb is about 1.5 inches, but it varies from spot to spot (not a regular tilt); and it is an attic, with good structural bones (so the engineer/architect tells me) but couldn’t take a floated concrete floor (at least, we don’t THINK it could) in addition to everything else we want to put into it.
Any ideas? that level the floor and sound isolate it so that people walking around on top with shoes on don’t reverberate into the bed rooms below?
Thanks!

Greetings Homeowner,
I copied your first post here from the 18th into a response in your later post on the 20th. 51654.1
That post to your question will bump the thread through the 'recent discussion' listing again.
Perhaps it will catch someones eye that can help you with advice.
Cheers

Thanks!
I'm a little startled it hasn't gotten more of a response yet. Folks here are so knowledgeable and have been able to be so helpful in so many areas.
Perhaps I have a real problem with structural issue? Maybe there's no obvious pathway....
Uh oh...
