Damping metal shelves

I posted a similar message over in General last week......

Has anyone had luck damping metal shelves used in an audio rack?

I have a Boltz steel AV rack, and while providing good mass and rigidity, the shelves tend to ring when tapped. I'm thinking of trying to apply cork, dynamat, or some other type of damping material to the under side of the shelves. I can also apply some other type of damping or isolation to the top side of the shelves.

Waste of time or a useful project?

Thanks in advance for the tips :)
