Reddit mentions of Isolate It!: Sorbothane Vibration Damping Sheet Stock 50 Duro (1/8 x 12 x 12in)

It's not common practice, but it should be.

It won't help a modern flight computer all that much, but it'll help video a lot. Cut little discs of something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Isolate-Sorbothane-Vibration-Damping-Sheet/dp/B004LY8UTY/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1427644430&sr=8-22&keywords=sorbothane (It's costly, but you use barely any of it...) Be sure to use loctite on the motor threads and to compress the sorbothane SOME but not too much.

Basically, it's much better to isolate/damp vibration before it excites the rest of the frame, rather than try and keep it out of a couple of critical components (camera, flight board)... Especially the flight board: damping can be harmful, because the flight board itself can "bounce" in response to accelerations of the aircraft.

So, I like to listen to music (loudly) in my car, but as I increase the volume, certain sub bass frequencies will begin rattling the items in my glove compartment. This obviously becomes a nuisance during my morning/evening commutes.

My proposed solution is to line the glove compartment with a material designed to absorb low frequency vibrations. After some googling, I found a material called Sorbothane, which many people use for dampening low frequency vibrations.

Questions:

1. Am I off-base with my solution? Will a vibration-absorbent material placed between the compartment surface and the items within be enough to considerably dampen the rattling?
   
   
2. If I am indeed on the right track, does this material (Sorbothane) seem ideal? I have very little technical knowledge of vibration-dampening, so let me know if there are better materials/solutions to this issue.
   
   
3. If somehow, miraculously, my proposal is still completely on-track, would this item be sufficient for my purposes?
   
   Note: my car is a 2-year-leased 2016 Honda Accord Coupe, so extensive/invasive solutions are unfortunately a no-go. Additionally, it does not have an actual subwoofer, just standard built-in speakers with fairly decent low-frequency response.
   
   Many thanks in advance to anyone who can steer me in the right direction. Also, apologies for the lengthy post. Just wanted to get everything explained properly.
   
   

I think I know exactly what you are talking about. I have a roll in my toolbox for making intake and throttle body gaskets.

Keep it from scratching, yes. Keep it from vibrating, probably not.

Something like this would be about perfect, but I am sure you could find something much cheaper.

I would probably just go to the hardware store and look at something like garage door or regular door seal to find something with the right durometer (squishiness) rubber. Too soft and it will just squash flat and not do anything. Too stiff and it won't soak up much vibration.

1/8" would dampen a helluva lot of vibration, but 1/16" would probably do the trick too.
