Tile Floor Sounds Crunchy

There are several factors that can make your floors squeak including seasonal changes in humidity levels and installation issues.

Tile floor sounds crunchy. I have owned it since 2012. My house was built in 1956. A low tone is not a cause for immediate panic however. A low pitched sound can also occur and not signify there is a problem the type of sound you hear also depends on the configuration of the tile assembly for example when tile is installed over a less dense substrate as in the case of wood a non bonded mortar bed a sound control mat or other membrane or over a steel framed wall.

As stated above if the floor is installed over a wood substrate and not placed in a staggered pattern with gaps and not fastened properly floors with ceramic tile installed over them can squeak. Is there anything i can pump in between tiles where grout is if i look it up that would secure the tiles again without pulling them up. Our floor tiles have started making a crunching sound. We have no spares and only had them laid 18 months ago.

It is the original tile with no signs of repair or cracks in the tile or grout. 3 annoying floor sounds 1. Pulling them up is not an option. On closer inspection i can see that the tiles are moving very slightly against the grout which is causing the sound.

Squeaking is one of the most prevalent complaints homeowners have about wood floors. Sounds are subjective that can be perceived differently by different people. Recently i noticed that a few of the floor tiles in the kitchen make a crunching sound when walked on. There is an area about 15x15 inches that makes a crackling noise when you step on it.

Perhaps the tiles are still partially attached at the corners or somewhere in the middle but it s just a matter of time before a hollow tile begins to crack. There is a almost unnoticeable bulge where one of the tile comes up.
