While I prefer tile and wood for their looks, and had both in our previous home, I find a major difference acoustically with carpet. I've found that you have much more sound reflection, even with area rugs and curtains, and that distorts the sound from my surround sound system with wood and tile. Now this might just be my ears, but my son has a home with tile and wood floors, and he can hear a major difference. If you're into home theater, you might want to consider this, or maybe consult and audio-visual specialist.
