I used several shaped layers of adhesive neoprene on my LightTuck. It’s super comfortable and it rounds out pretty quickly.
Got these off Amazon. They aren’t perfect by any means but I think they help.

These neoprene pads should work, I use the precut discs in various sizes from Home Depot meant for the bottom of furniture and the like.
Something that might help is vibration pads like these. They are real cheap and putting some under my speakers and turntable helped with the sound a lot.
Ok, True, Yea i saw tons of pure rubber ones but they are not it. I'm gonna link some for you to look through :), Hope this helps!

Some of these seem too small but i think some of these might be it, I think the MScDirect ones seem like they could be close, Thanks for that picture, I'm pretty sure this is the closest

Well it's not quiet to be honest but you'll have a hard time dampening the noise no matter how you go about it, I do recommend getting vibration dampening cube thingies (like this or maybe this) to put under your rig just so the noise won't travel into the floor which will make it exponentially louder. Those anti vibration things also help keep the vibration in the rig rather than dispersing it into your surrounding area.
As for structural integrity, I've had no issues. I got a tube of threadlocker in case the screws would vibrate loose but I haven't put it on yet and they are still as tight as the day I put them in so I wouldn't worry too much.
This stuff works well

I took the feet off my Prusa and set the entire frame on strips of this
Dampens vibrations, very quiet, unsure if it improved my prints
Awesome. Thanks. I'm pretty motivated. You think felt is the way to go? Or something like this?

I wonder if adding weight to it on a wood floor is wise. If so I think that some kind of platform to distribute the weight load would help to prevent sagging.
I think i used this for the deadening. And something like this as the foam. Wasn't exactly that but you can shop around.
The first is to deaden sound. Stop the drone and metal vibrating. Foam is to cut sound and make it quieter. See how you like the sound with nothing first and then add.
I put mine on right away because the gf didnt like the cabin drone.
I was thinking more of this:

The "left joycon issue" is a multitude of problems caused by interference with the controllers wireless antenna. It can manifest it self in different ways for different people. The firmware update increasing its power usage helped a little bit.
But if its still bothering you can send it to nintendo for repair, or you can fix it yourself with a small piece of conductive foam.
which is basically the same repair nintendo makes.
I checked all links but unfortunately, no :(
The Soft Charcoal one is almost the same as the packaging foam stuff. It's harder to see on your link but on the edges you can see you can kinda look through it, that's just feather light stuff like this https://www.casesbysource.com/product/soft-charcoal-ester-pick-and-pluck-foam-2-pack-fs04
And this link you gave me: https://www.amazon.com/Closed-Sponge-Rubber-Acoustical-Sheet/dp/B00YV43UZS this foam is something completely different, it's this type of foam you find in sofas or cheap chairs \^\^
The thing with the neoprene could actually be it but I think only as a tiny tiny blend type and I actually found something which has neoprene, SBR and a closed cell foam mixed together and on the first picture.. again(-.-) it looks quite like my pad. God dammit haha http://www.rubbercal.com/closed-cell-rubber-blend.html But their sizes and prices are also obnoxious. The thing is my pad can't be pure neoprene or be a high neoprene base because my pad as I tried to clean it with water (after almost 10 years I fucked it up with a shake .....) it soak the water a tiny bit but still felt like a plastic-like foam type (a bit like my EVA mat) with a bit rubber in it. so I guess it's also not fully closed cell that is even can soak water even tho it feels like that. Just picking something blind on the internet because of a picture where the foam looks pretty much like my pad is too randoms >.> I wish I had a shop near me that just have all sorts of foam and where I could bring my pad and ask some professionals what exactly it is lol
Edit: I did wet a corner of this violet EVA I have at home and surprisingly it soaks the water, feels and sounds exactly the same as my pad, a bit squeaky, like plastic when wet, when I rub on it with a finger.. I'm pretty sure now my pad has to be like a 80-90%+ EVA base!! The surface and maybe density is just a bit different. I think I'll search some different EVA mats up and try some
I was looking at this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07483R2GF/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1FGUTU6HPYGGA&psc=1
Would it work as well as the sorbothane or the dynamat? Its a lot cheaper than this:

That looks great!
I'd recommend adding some type of dense foam rubber padding between the speaker and the stand. Like this neoprene pad:

Just cut it to the right proportions.

Hopefully your classroom is pretty spacious so you can get some distance from everybody. Even with silent switches, a stock Anne Pro will be pretty noticeable in a classroom. You could pop the case open and put some foam in there which would get it quieter.
Regardless, Anne Pros are a great entry board even if you don't end up using them in class!
