Cheers.
An easy way to determine how a material behaves it to get one of those little "bare" music box mechanisms. Place it on different materials, turn the handle, and you can hear first-hand just how loud various materials or "dampers", isolators, etc., are.
Norm Varney of A/V Solutions has a great YT video demonstrating that. At one point, he puts the music box mech on a granite-cabinet speaker.
