I've heard of positioning guitar amps on pieces of wood in trays of sand to reduce vibration and noise on other floors and rooms. Do you think that would work for someone using a 5.1 surround sound system with a large woofer in a condo?

Really? This is the second post I've come to read and learned more than I could have imagined. I've been to many a concerts and never heard or noticed this. I wonder if this is used often.

I think any sand you'd have in the house would be dry. I don't think it makes much difference. The vibrations are being broken up by the deformity of the tiny crystal "rocks" that make up sand. Adding water isn't going to change anything but maybe speed up the transfer between the material a bit.
