Will bungie cord tension affect noise?

[Martytoof]

I'm trying to mount three disks in my LC17 and my vertical clearance leaves something to be desired. Thus I need to keep my bungie cord rather tight to achieve any reasonable amount of clearance. What is everyone's opinion on tightness affecting noise decoupling? I'm afraid that the more rigid it is the more it will tend to pass along noise.

I'd post a photo but apparently I can't because this is my first post

Anyway, thanks in advance!


Edit: Apparently since I now have one post I can edit this photo in


It's a proof of concept of my new mount using some spare parts I had lying around. I'll put the final version together tomorrow using some more high quality material. It will actually probably need to be a little tighter than it is in the photo to help with vertical clearance.

That's correct, the more taught the cord the more vibration will be transmitted along it. But it does have to be really tight to make it significant. What you have it that pic should be fine.

Proof is in the testing! Let us know how you get on.
