Patrick,
I coated a wall behind a large and whiny MALDI/TOF with "SONEX classic"
panels. I found the stuff on the web. Here is a picture:

and the address I got it from:
SILENT SOURCE =A0- 58 Nonotuck Street, Northampton, MA =A001060=20
phone/fax: (413) 584-7944 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0order line: (800) 583-7174
It works. I'm now putting it behind everything in the lab including
whiny hard drives. It passes Hospital fire regs and I just use push pins
along the top edge to install.
hope this helps, Paul

get off your butt. Fun fact: Dominatrix appears on 11,328 web sites.
