Depending on how old your carpet is (10+ years), it could be the foam backing underneath disintegrating and getting sucked through the carpet. Do you have any high traffic areas that are obviously more worn than the rest of the carpet? If so, you need new carpet.

I have wood floors, not carpet... this being said, it's the thin wood type, not hard floorboards, not sure what's underneath...

There should be a different type of foam layer. Modern laminate flooring usually involves a layer of hard foam underneath to help deaden sound. So it could also be contributing.
