Opinions Wanted: Creeky Floors (lemm.ee)

I've got creeky floors under carpet (relatively new building). I don't own the place but the creeks and squeaks bother the hell out of me at night when I'm trying to not wake up the pup.

Didn't see any particularly useful advice online so any thoughts are appreciated.

Try damming the creek upriver?

Is this a bot or joke (or 'yes') response?

Its also a typo for wood that makes squeaking sounds.

(A typo is a terrible thing to waste. 😜 )

The typo wasn't wasted, there was a clever joke about it.

In a 'Dad' joke sort of way, sure, I'd agree with that.
