I'm replacing the 2-3mm foam layer in our sub-floor (sits between hardwood ply and floating floor tiles). It's similar to this product [https://www.floordepot.co.uk/item/24041002/vapour-barrier-3mm-foam-underlay](https://www.floordepot.co.uk/item/24041002/vapour-barrier-3mm-foam-underlay)
Which replacement material would offer the best thermal and acoustic insulation at 2-3mm out of cork, rubber, or Mass-Loaded Vinyl?

Not looking to access cavity to insulate between rafters as short on time, just to upgrade the foam layer for now.
Want to make kitchen quieter and floor warmer. Realise 2-3mm can't dramatically improve thermal efficiency but looking to upgrade the foam currently there without raising floor height. (edited)
