Sound Insulation

Tvad, Why not put some flesh on your question?

What is the noise source?
What kind of component?
How do you percieve using the materiel? Just as a pad between the component and the shelf. To enclose the component? To line a cabinet/box? etc.

BTW, if it is transformer hum, and the component sits of a shelf in the open, I have gotten little relief from putting sound absorbent materiel between the component and the shelf. I've used heavy dense sound aborbing foam as well as sorbothane. I always got the best benefit from damping the transformer itself.

FWIW.

Kenk168 and Seasoned, thanks for the excellent suggestions and resources! I'm
going to order the 3A Link All Althorn Absorption Wads, and start there.

Newbee, it's drive/fan type noise.

Received the 3A Link All Althorn Absorption Wads, and it works like a charm.

I think I'll use the extra sheets to line a couple component case interiors to provide some damping.

Hi Tvad,

Glad that the stuff works and quite easy on the wallet. Please update once you have a chance to do your audio component case interiors. I have a set for my computer case yet to be installed.

Regards,

Tvad, If you are so inclined, after you try this stuff in the component cabinets could you comment on heat retenton which would normally be minimized by the component case acting as a heat sink? I'm curious -

Thanks
