Its an april fools joke for them. Dare I say that I have actually seen DCs with carpeting. My jaw dropped but it does exist.
We had carpeted floor tiles in a data center where I used to work. It was bound to the raised floor panels, and I was told it had anti static properties. Never noticed a static issue, but the room had proper air handlers with humidity control.
The room was still loud, I'm not sure what dampening attributes it had for noise reduction. After a while the tiles start to wear a bit on the edges I suppose, but they had been in place for 5 years I believe and it looked fine (other than where liquid spills occoured on a distant side where people had some cubicles.)
The puller to lift floor tiles had evil teeth, not suction cups. It could bite.
