So yeah, I fingerboard on my desk and idk why, but it's pretty loud.. How can I make it quieter?

Maybe a thicker desk? idk..

Yo

I made the experience that softer wheels and the main part a softer desk plate would help a lot but when It is too soft it is very hard to flip but that wouldn't be a problem
Yes just go you hardware store and ask for soft wood and buy one

Yeah I don't want to change my setup, but with softer wood, do I lose my pop?

If you put ear buds inside out and cut the tip of them off and put them over you wheels it gives a kinda of duarometer look and makes em quieter, only thing is they become really grippy

Haha yeah I did that, but I don't like it because it is TOOO grippy and the rubber goes of my wheel

No you will not lose it bit you will recognize that it will be a bit more difficult to pop

Hmm but I think it's pretty expensive to buy like 2x70x200 cm sheet of wood ;(

Yes it is and this sort of wood which is that soft is like expensive but only chance to make a quietly !

Get a bit of granite and fingerboard on that on your desk ^-^ that's what i do, you don't loose pop or anything and it makes it a bit quieter

Yeah I already tried some tiles, but I think that was even louder

magazines work too

Or just plain old books

Oh yeah didn't even thought of this fact !!

Just turn your room into a vaccum.

But granite... not ceramic tiles
I use a big Granite chopping board

Put music on that's louder than your FBing

Isn't this the exact same thing?

use a finger hoverboard

some of these answers man... nonsense.


If its late at night and youre trying to keep it quiet just sesh on some magazines like ryan said or sesh on some mouse pads.

I don't see why you would have to keep it really quiet during the day, but at night mousepads/magazines work nicely.

keiran is right about the granite though, it just has to be thick enough to absord impact sounds. all you hear is the snap of the board popping and the tick tack of it landing. without any of the big noise.


sorry but putting rubber things on your wheels or buying a new 'soft wood desk' or whatever.. are pretty silly suggestions.

Probably but the pop is still there !

Yea, I always used magazines too. Still do if there's people home, sound is particularly annoying to people who don't fingerboard lol.

Yeah I used magazines for a long time (homework hehe) but I forgot about it, thanks guys!

I think the magazine idea is the best.

I personally get out some printer paper 15-20 sheets thick and fingerboard on that.
