Hi everyone - I've never been exposed to Atlas 3R track... it looks great and I'm thinking of trading out my FT. Is there an opinion that Atlas track is at all quieter?
A little background: I've read many of the (sometimes heated) discussions on making FT itself quieter. My 2x-around-the-Xmas-tree PE run is currently laid on FT on the carpet and has served me well for years. It is a pain to reduce the speed to a crawl/dead stop so to converse or listen to xmas music in there... I've long considered packing those plastic "resonance chambers" with dense cork or Dynomat, which have varying degrees of success based on the posts.
However I like the look of Atlas 3R and thought, if it wasn't much quieter on it's own (it seems like it would be inherently), it'd be easy to fill each tie with latex caulk (or something). I'd like to give Atlas a try if anyone can give a little feedback on its noisy-less-ness.
Certainly I'm not looking to start a war nor beat a dead horse, but I'm new to this arena and appreciate your guidance.
Thanks!
