How to get rid of squeaky noise coming form shoes walking on new vinyl floors

A vinyl floor was installed on the concrete floor in the bedrooms. The rest of the house has tiles. When walking on the vinyl floor the shoes and bare feet make a squeaky noise. When moving to walk on the tiles, the squeaking noise from shoes continues on tiles as well.

I read online that the squeaky noise comes from not installing the floor well. I would have thought that if it is the installation, the squeaking noise won’t happen on the tiles. It is as if something on the surface of the vinyl is attached to the shoes and this is why the noise occurs on the tiles as well. 

Does anyone have or had the same or similar issue?

I'm sorry tho hear that @Smadar,

 

Have you contacted the manufacture of the vinyl flooring to see if they have any suggestions?
