Carpet is usually the better option for sound proofing. There are a number of questions though. Are you on the ground floor? Do you already have a laminate floor in situ or do you have carpet? Are you on a ground floor or an upstairs floor?
I assume that you are making a decision as to which to buy. You can buy an underlay that will improve the sound proofing for laminates. Carpet will also only be fully soundproofed if it has a good underlay. It also depends on the carpet and most importantly the backing on the carpet.
More information would help!

Oh, without a doubt, carpeting is a much better buffer for sound that is laminate flooring/tile flooring/etc. Personally.. and that is personally, I hate carpeting and so my whole house is tiled but I DO miss the acoustic affects that I formerly had with carpeting

Soundproofing Carpet

I would have thought so. Also the fluffier and thicker the carpet the more sound proof it will be. Such a crapet will create no noise when shoes and other objects fall onto it also general room noise created away from the floor will have no chance of passing through such a carpet.

Carpet

maximum companies do no longer advise using laminate in a flat because it transmits extra noise, inspite of a foam underflooring. you would be maximum suitable to get some form of soundproofing (i.e. SoundMat) and then a sturdy underlay, then carpetting.

Carpet for soundproofing - but laminate if you want to keep it clean for longer.

carpet is much better for sound proofing the floor - also warmer on the toes when you walk on it.

Yes, and carpet will be warmer in the winter too.
