| I used the roofing foam stuff and that has worked really well. It made quite a difference. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. |

| My buddy put tar paper between the sheets of plywood. Deadens the sound well. |

I like the tar paper. In addition to the sound dampening, I think it smooths things out a little.
You still need something under the trannys, that is where most of the noise comes from. |

yeah, I have packed the soundproofing tight under the trannies and then put a floor and back on it. It has made quite a difference. |

Tar paper is the way to go!
put it between the first 2 layers and put your final layer on diagonal that will help alot.Closing in the back too helps |

| I am starting to plan my first backyard mini. How loud is it that the neighbors complain? If I can cut out sound prior to building I will, but don't know if it is loud enough to bother with. Especially since the neighbor's kid skates. |

If you do the things that everyone says here, it won't be loud at all.
Quieter that someone playing basketball in my opinion. |

| try boxing in the back of the ramp. If the back of the ramp is open it acts like a giant speaker. Also putting sand inside the coping and capping the ends will deaden the sound for grinds. |

Gonna revisit this thread...here's what I'm thinking to sound proof my ramp:
Sand in the flats( fill the framing cavity with compacted sand to reduce the drum effect and make it fast as hell)
Glue down the first layer to the riding surface(this one makes me nervous cause it'll be a bitch to take apart if I ever need too.)
concrete coping
old carpet on the back side of the transitions( against the framing) and close in the back under the decks. Expanding foam against the backside would be great ,probably too expensive though.
Paper between ply layers
Any other ideas or opinion appreciated. |
