Railcar Flooring Rides More Smoothly on Silicone Open Cell Foams
The design of railcar floating floors can present a few challenges for acoustic engineers. The requirements to mitigate structural and airborne noises for a comfortable, quiet, and aesthetically pleasing interior is only one element of floating floor design. Other factors include construction longevity and integrity, keeping in mind that the service life of a railcar is likely to be at least 25 years.

Out of curiosity, could this idea be applied to engine covers, or marine applications to reduce vibration transmission to passenger compartments?

Hi Allen,
I would check with the manufacturer of the material, Rogers Corp., but it could be a possibility.
