Now were you to have a tapered bungee cord that might be interesting. I always wished someone made a tapered spring with wire that went from very thin to very thick.

I think you mean different spring rates. Resonant frequency is a characteristic of the system, not the spring, and is a function of the spring rate.

What's the difference whether the spring is tapered or the wire is tapered? And what advantage do you think either one would have over a conventional spring?

Why would you want to vary the spring rate of the spring or the resonant frequency (of the system)? Wouldn't you want the lowest possible spring rate for a given load, thus the lowest resonant frequency? The characteristic of the spring is its spring rate, whereas resonant frequency, a function of the total spring rate of all the springs and the mass, is a system characteristic.

That is why I love the StillPoints Ultra Fives and the Neuance shelves.
You will always get some low frequency vibrations making their way up through the isolator no matter how hard you try. Nothing is perfect.
