Quick question, I am having noise issues (popping) with my new engineered wood floor. The floor is 3/8" thick, stapled and edge glued over roofing felt. Could/should a cork padding have been used?

Thanks!

I would suspect, improper fastening schedule or fastener, poor/weathered or wrong underlayment/subfloor, flatness tolerence
