RE: Dampening

None those definitions have anything to with reducing mechanical vibration; in mechanics it is damping.

However, in acoustics you can provide dampening of sound waves traveling through air.

So for example ... if you do not provide adequate damping of vibrations in your machine, you may have to provide some type of acoustical dampening to eliminate the sound produced.

They are related but different phenomenon with different nomenclature.

It's kind of like the different terms effect and affect.

Where as ... if you do nothing to mitigate the effect of alcohol, you may feel like your judgement is affected.

I remain ... the noodge! :-)
