A laminate comprises a core layer and one or more acoustic layers adhered
to the core layer. The core layer is at least about 30 mils thick and
comprises one or more materials selected from wood and wood composite.
The total thickness of the one or more acoustic layers is greater than
about 5 mils. The one or more acoustic layers comprise one or more
polymers, have a glass transition temperature of at most about
0.degree.C., and have a crystallinity of at most about 39 weight %. The
laminate may be useful in flooring systems.
