Sand is a great mass element. The material the shelf is made out of should also have high mass, be well damped, and fairly stiff so as not to create another resonance. So I'm postulating that the construction and dimensions of the shelf may be more important than the material it is made from. For example a Boos block 3" thick maple will be very different than a 1" solid oak board, irrespective of the material it is made from. Catch my drift?

Many thanks Tom!
Vibrations are coming from speakers and rack.
