I don't really think any internal damping would be added - these tiles are really quite hard and stiff when they're at room temperature. A knuckle rap sounds like a plastic salad bowl which make sense, I suppose, being about the same radius and thickness. The adhesive, by the way, is extremely secure. In thinking back, I used a regular hammer, not a rubber mallet, and would give moderate taps, you don't need to whack it. It is an impact adhesive and the strength of the bond is determined by the pressure generated by the impact.
