What impact does the 10dB acoustic reduction rule have on flooring choices?

From a professional specification perspective:

A 10dB reduction sounds approximately half as loud to the human ear, and acoustic underlay systems typically provide 10-20dB noise reduction. This means the right underlay can make a timber floor sound half to quarter as loud as the bare slab beneath. FSA Network floor sanders help select the acoustic system that achieves the required noise reduction for your building.
