Damping chassis internally?

I see a lot of folks discussing the use of damping materials on top of the chassis of various components, but, hardly do I see the use of using damping material inside the chassis. Especially, where the chassis connects with another section of the chassis. For example, taking the cover off of an audio component and lining the chassis rails inside with damping material, such as 3M damping tape, and then attaching the cover with the damping material serving as a buffer between the two separate chassis covers. The 3M damping material is tested to reduce spurious vibration at certain frequencies.

I am contemplating going off the deep rail and doing this as a tweak to some of my components. Had anyone gone down this path before? What's your experience?

Thank you.
