    Hi to the forum

    Hi I'm BR55, I'm new to the forum. My question is, how can I quiet down my platform so I don't disturb my neighbors ? I have a Balazs I-box, and it's mounted directly to the wall. Would mounting it on 2 by 4s help quiet it down ?
    Thx

    noise

    Hi there and welcome to the forum.Unfortunately i don't thing is much you can do about the noise.The only thing you can do about your neighbors is apologize to them.. Check with local law about loud noise hrs.Try and do your speed bag at times less inconvenient for everybody.Cheers

      Yeah that's a major issue with multiple occupancy dwellings. Right at the moment the only workable solution that has been developed is to build a free standing base for your platform. The only drawback is that it takes a little bit of floor space. If you search these forums you can see examples.

        Welcome to speedbagforum! Yeah I have three setups to bag on and they range from noisy to very noisy. The loudest is my ply box filled with concrete. It rattles the tin roof above it. My nonagon couldn't be more sturdy or heavier in construction, but it's the bag slap sound on the board that will always have it's minimum volume. My least noisy one is my vert bag on the end of a log.
        The legendary Ebozyn did some good threads on minimising the noise. The bladder bag sure is more quiet, but so is slow bagging compared to going hell for leather. And hitting the bag slow is great for developing control

            Hi
            Don't buy your speed bag from the same place you buy your tackle box.

              Perhaps the best thing you could do is get a Porta Speed.
