If you are interested in high tech energy damping elastomers, Sorbothane excels - but its pricey!

A very inexpensive alternative for mechanical decoupling is neoprene sheet available at almost any industrial rubber and gasket supply house (check the phone book - as they commonly supply material and also fabricate hydraulic and other hoses, etc. for industrial equipment. It is available in multiple thicknesses.

And, if brand names aren't important and price is critical, you might check with local dive shops to see if they have any old torn wetsuits that they are rotating out of rental. Multiple layers can be easily cut and used.If necessary, spray adhesive can be used to 'attach' the layers.

Just be aware that the only benefit will be in the form of mechanical decoupling of the unit from the base.
