It depends on the carpet that you are installing. If the carpet is a hessian or action backed carpet then traditionally it is installed over a separate underlay with grippers around the edge of the room. Grippers are the nasty spiked things that everyone catches their foot on! The carpet is attached at one side of the room and then stretched across and attached to the grippers on the opposite side. If the carpet is felt or foam backed then it should be installed directly to the subfloor provided it is of a reasonable standard. Felt or foam backed carpets are traditionally fixed on double sided tape or spray adhesive.

Should you be installing a carpet in a contract location then the carpet and underlay should be installed using a double stick method. The underlay is stuck to the subfloor and then the carpet stuck to the underlay.

What year was wall to wall carpeting created?

Wall-to-wall carpeting became popular in the 1960s, but its origins can be traced back to the late 19th century when advancements in weaving technology allowed for larger rolls of carpet. The first true wall-to-wall carpets were introduced in the 1920s, gaining traction in the 1930s and 1940s.

i would like to soundproof a wall in my townhouse is pvc rubber insulation the best solutionWhere can I buy it.?

Soundproofing is all about dispersing sounds reflection and "bounce". I have seen everything from walls made out of egg cartons to carpeting on walls (even at radio stations) and also a "slant wall" in front of the real walls stuffed with foam and egg cartons or carpeting on your side is another solution. Rubber insulation I have seen used but not as much, remember the flatter the surface without any holes or pyramidal or carpeting absorbing and deflecting the waves it won't work as well.
