I'm with Tom and Ted - paint your table top.

Interestingly enough, I use felt in building my layout.  But strips of it go between tables as a cushion / noise suppressant.  This is a trick I learned from my friend Price Bradshaw (The Shadow on this forum).  My tracks sit on Vinylbed (or Flexxbed as it's called now);  they are very quiet.

Do you mean between the supports and the plywood top?  If so do you essentially have a floating table top?  How do you join adjacent sections?

Here's what I mean.  The first photo is the table top (where the 2 tables come together) from above.

Here's what the joining of tables looks like from below. 

You can see the felt between the tables hanging down.

Hope this helps,
