RE: What make yu think hardwood can "dampen the granite further" ??? (nt)

You want to look up "acoustic impedance" and read all about it. Proper matching of your different materials' acoustic impedances, in a particular order, can enhance or inhibit the transfer of energy between layers. For example, the gel that the technicians use when you have an ultrasound test (ultrasound is simply a high frequency vibration) is there to help match the acoustic impedance of the probe to that of your skin - if you've ever seen when the gel dries up, the images become very poor until more gel is added.
