What is the best material to "dampen" the sound of an aluminum case?
« on: Wed, 28 December 2016, 01:18:15 »
Got a new case today and I really like it but it has an odd sound compared to my last. I have seen foam used. What do you all recommend? Thanks for any help!!

Putting some cushioned material lining the case can both improve overall feel and dampen sound. I like this stuff, and it's easy to cut to any size.

as ghetto as it sounds, I have had some great success with a few packing peanuts squished between the PCB and the case.
