GOAT Silencer, how to reduce dartboard noise at home

GOAT Silencer Demping System – Sound Dampener, quieter darts without disturbance
Playing darts at home is great, but the sound of darts hitting the board can quickly become disturbing. Especially in apartments or terraced houses, many players look for a way to reduce dartboard noise. The GOAT Silencer Demping System is designed specifically to reduce impact noise and vibrations transmitted to the wall.
It is important to note that a dartboard sound dampener does not make a dartboard completely silent. You will still hear the darts hitting the sisal, but the hard, dull impact sound and vibrations that cause disturbance are significantly reduced.

How does this dartboard sound dampener work?
The GOAT Silencer Demping System is a smart sound dampening solution for dartboards that is placed behind the dartboard, between the board and the wall. The dampening panel absorbs a large part of the impact when a dart hits the board. As a result, vibrations are transmitted much less to the wall, which is especially noticeable for neighbors or people in adjacent rooms.
Practical tests show that the sound on the back side of the wall is reduced by nearly 10 decibels. This equals approximately 50 percent noise reduction compared to a standard dartboard setup without a sound dampener. Without a dampener, the impact sounds sharp and hollow. With the GOAT Silencer, each throw feels softer and the sound remains better contained within the playing area.
At the front, you will still hear the dartboard, but that is not the purpose of the sound dampener. The main benefit is that dartboard noise is significantly reduced for the surrounding environment.
Protection, mounting and durability
In addition to sound reduction, the GOAT Silencer Demping System also provides extra protection. The system catches darts that miss the dartboard, just like a regular dartboard surround. Because the impact is absorbed more softly, the dartboard itself is put under less stress, which can contribute to a longer lifespan of the sisal.
The sound dampener comes standard with the Rotafix mounting system, allowing you to choose between a fixed position or a rotatable setup. The rotatable option makes it possible to rotate the dartboard, ensuring even wear over time. Thanks to the relatively soft material, the system is also suitable for walls that are not perfectly flat.
The panel fits tightly against the wall and adds minimal depth. Please note that after installation you will need to remeasure the oche distance, as the dartboard will hang slightly further from the wall. If you want to keep the dampener out of sight, you can easily place a regular surround over it.
Who is the GOAT Silencer Demping System suitable for?
This dartboard sound dampener is ideal for home use, shared living spaces and situations where you want to play darts late in the evening. If you are looking for an effective way to create a quieter dartboard without changing your throw, the GOAT Silencer Demping System is a practical and durable solution. Compared to other dartboard dampening systems, the focus is on simplicity, ease of installation and strong value for money.
