Because carpet acts as a cushion so when you stomp of it the impact it reduced as to if you were stomping on hard tile

Answer:

Carpet softens harsh sounds and creates a quieter, more peaceful indoor environment. The installation of carpet and underlay is the only method available for eliminating excessive noise generated by floor impacts such as noise produced from footfalls, chairs scraped across the floor and objects dropped on the floor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carpets are thicker. That's why when you stomp it's more quieter because the impact of your foot will hit the thickness.
