I am laying some laminate flooring in my basement and after I ripped up the carpet I found a rather large bump on the concrete subfloor. I need to flatten this thing out so I can lay laminate on top of it.
Note that I am not trying to level the floor – I'm just trying to make it have no bumps.
What's the best way to remove this concrete bump? Should I chisel it out?
Tried to upload a picture, but imgur keeps rejecting it (yes, it's under the size limit, by a lot). I'll try again later. Just imagine a concrete floor with a little acne.

A silicon carbide rubbing block. I'd swear this is a duplicate but it's not showing up in the "related" links.
Inexpensive hand tool, makes short work of bumps, by hand. Use some water to lubricate and prevent dust while grinding.
