Dan,
The e-bay supplier makes the foam roadbed in a wider size to accommodate Fastrack and in gray or black (I believe) color.
Most of my layout utilizes FT on a 3/4" foam (box store sheet) top over a plywood base with no roadbed and the sound is what it is. I never found it objectionable, especially given the engine, railsounds, squeals, crew talk, etc. from my command control engines that virtually drown out any noise created by FT versus other trackage.
However, I expanded the layout recently and ran FT over a long 1" X 4" piece of oak and a wooden shelf and needed something that was a 1/4" high to mate up with the existing track height and used this foam road bed and, FWIW, it is definitely quieter than just the wood and, also, the FT over sheet foam.
