Composites have always been very good at reducing vibrations. I've never tried latex glue - would it not take a very long time to dry when used in such quantities?

The loudspeaker verb is "damp". The garden hose verb is “dampen”. “Damp” is also a garden hose adjective.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=damp which says in part,

tr.v. damped, damp·ing, damps

4. Music. To slow or stop the vibrations of (the strings of a keyboard instrument) with a damper.

5. Physics. To decrease the amplitude of (an oscillating system).
