Had a set of Creative GigaWorks S750's for a good few months. Ace speakers.

One little niggle though, and it's not actually the fault of the speakers.

When there's drum beats and such, I hear buzzing. From my desk, walls and so on. It's rather annoying.

So anyone care to divulge the secrets of stopping resonance and buzzing? I've thought about rubber/silicone grommets for the two wall-mounted speakers, but I don't know if that's really going to make a difference.

So yeah. Tips please :)
 
Got rid of a lot of the resonance with a diced up flannel of all things :p

Still a few rumbles but I'll find them in time. Anyone have any better ideas?
 
A lot of the rubber shock absorber things, feet in other words on my monitors, 360, router and such were flattened. Just put a small piece under each foot, made sure things aren't directly touching and so on.

Also, the way my desk is built; basically two small chests of drawers with a large table part resting on top of them, I've put a piece of flannel on each of the raised 'support' bits of the chests, so the actual desk isn't vibrating from there any more.

Basically it's a piece of flannel between where large/heavy things are in contact with something else large/heavy. Worked a treat.
 
BlueTac, cut a squash ball in half, plenty of commercial products available too.

I have some Auralex MOPads for my monitors and a small slab of foam-rubber to sit my sub on so it doesn't upset the people in the flat below me too much ;)
 
BLU-TAC


Amen to that, a lump or two of blu-tac under the speakers to isolate them from the mounts/stands/desk/whatever solves many a problem.. :D
