If you are planning a midsummer trip in the Stockholm archipelago you can take one of the boats MS Sjögull or MS Sjöbris. You will get a smooth and silent journey as these have recently been renovated; the engines are suspended on Vibratec marine isolators VT41 (spring isolators) with the gear boxes on cushion isolators type VTCI.

Roof-Top Basketball Court on Springs
Vibratec has supplied specially designed steel beams with integrated springs and cushions, to carry a roof-top basketball court in Odense, Denmark. This intervention was done to prevent the noise of bouncing balls and running players disturbing people living in apartments directly below. The result went beyond expectations and measurements showed Lp, max values lower than 15dB(A). This is more than 20 dB lower impact noise compared to a solution with concrete slab on a mineral wool mat.
