A vehicle includes a pedal and a vehicle floor. The vehicle floor has a driver's side footwell area over which the pedal is positioned and a driver's seat area, and includes a rigid floor structure and a floor covering for the floor structure. The floor covering has a heel point for the pedal at the driver's side footwell area, and includes a sound attenuating silencer overlying the floor structure and carpeting overlying the silencer. The silencer's top surface slopes upward in the driver's side footwell area from the heel point to the driver's seat area.
