Does anyone use wood for vibration control?

I, actually, did not think much about electrical signal but focused on sound as movement of air or some other medium. Something that eventually interacts with one’s ears (just before it gets translated into electrical signal). That is easily the most prominent part of sound transmission and, I would guess, the one that can be impacted most easily and dramatically.

Still, even if considering electricity sensitive to vibration and agreeing it could be influenced by outside vibrations, it is hard to understand why all of those influences must have negative impact on the final perception of the sound. On the purity of the source signal is understandable, sort of, but on an individual’s preferences not so much. With some luck/practice, there is a chance one would prefer the final sound and that is what, it seems to me, michaelgreen is promoting.

An anechoic chamber is not the most pleasant place to be.

When it comes to vibrations and topics touched here, one more time. Audio/sound is vibration. No vibration=no sound. Is anyone really disagreeing with that?

The issue that geoffkait, and maybe someone else, is clumsily bringing up is influence of some other environmental vibrations on those "pure" sound vibrations. They surely exist, try listening to music with or without jackhammering in the vicinity and notice the difference. Now, I will not go into how (un)noticeable tectonic movements would be during a movement of an amplified symphony.

One is promoting adjusting the sound for better by applying "controlled" vibrations while the other one is, more or less, saying that any extra vibration will undoubtedly influence the sound in a negative way.

I can see that guessing, or gaining enough experience for a reasonably accurate educated guess, may be a tedious and time-consuming project when applying those "controlled/desired" vibrations. I cannot see why any external vibration introduced to a system has to be negative. It is all about personal perception, after all and that one is hard to quantify.

So, no vibration is no sound. At the same time, additional/environmental vibrations are best when they are dead, if your goal is absolutely pristine signal coming from whatever source there is. It is just that you may not like it, after all.
