My Dartboard is too LOUD!

[@wilks1878]

I've got the Wispa, it still does make sound in the room, but it travels WAY less. And more importantly, it doesn't vibrate through walls.

[@klaytonbarnhart4615]

Does it eliminate the vibration? Not sure why but I just put my board up and I feel bad like the vibration is really loud

[@DionPilkington]

Worried about pissing off the neighbours then the man is drilling at 1 o'clock in the morning

[@Bghjssjald233]

it was 1 when he was doing the VO i assume

[@Tikkawrap]

😂😂😂 then blasting the rivits in with the drill battery 😂😂😂

[@vulcanus30]

The question is not so much about how much it reduces the decibels in the same room, but rather whether the sound is transmitted through the wall to the neighbors. Therefore, if the dartboard is more separated from the wall, the difference for the neighbors is like night and day.

[@MatadorDarts]

What I've noticed with the wispa is that the best effect is playing without the surround. The sound from the board travels through the surround, onto the system and then into the wall. So although it is quieter in other rooms if people say they can still hear it late at night etc. just take the surround off

[@Sam_brack]

Nice tip!

[@DavidLee-te2oz]

Then to stop the movement after throw it only takes the smallest bit of very light foam in 3 places around the outside to dampen any movement

[@ryanphilpotts5821]

I’ve noticed this too, much quieter without a surround!

I have the same product as I live with my nan and she goes to bed quite early so this product is perfect for the noise

[@Sam_brack]

It is a brilliant product. Lots of people talk on different platforms in a negative way about it but they havnt used it. I've had it longer than anyone I know of and why would winmau put their name to something second rate and claim that its the quietest system in the world if it isn't..... listening to the noise of mindless opinionated uneducated people causes annoyance more than any dartboard

I have a Wispa. My family is happy. It goes from a thud to a tick.

[@Sam_brack]

@@diximat do they think it’s quieter or not?

[@diximat]

@@Sam_brack absolutely quieter.

[@DavidLee-te2oz]

My neiebour could hear darts on normally mounted board throughout his entire house. With wispa he hears nothing in the next room exactly the same as a stand that i was having to use. I used a decibel meter on my phone placed 2 rooms away. The darts could clearly be heard on the wall but absolutely no response from the decibel meter. In the room directly behind the darts on the wispa could still just be heard as a gentle tick. Compared to the normaly mounted it was over 75 percent quieter. Same result as using a stand. I have given my stand away and can play at night.

[@Sam_brack]

Love to hear it!

[@smojogo186]

Neighbours complain about the noise.... Solution: Get your drill out at 0:40am 🤣

Personally I think having a couple bits of carpet underlay is more beneficial and does the same job

[@DavidLee-te2oz]

@kyleleslie4806 you personally thinking it means nothing compared to all my experience and testing. Etc with documented results. If your brainwave worked as effectively as a wispa why would someone go to great lengths and personal expense to invent it......... yes I've tried underlay and carpet. That's basically what the keralla is. The wispa outperforms everything and is equal noise in other rooms as using a stand.

[@thomasfjendbo2437]

How do you know with size using in the hans drill? And is the bradrawl for marking the center om the wispa board?

[@chrisreddy4815]

Before you pay 80 odd quid for this, fit some underlay to the back of your board. It fills the gap and takes out the boom effect. Worked for me and my neighbours. Have you tested the karella?

[@matt-ir1xq]

im interested in the keralla as i dont want to drill that many holes in my wall. my board is on the opposite side of the house to the parting wall but it is only a 1 room width house so the room is directly next to their room albeit on the outside wall. theyve never complained directly but sometimes when i play i hear pretty deliberate banging from them to tell me to stfu. i often hear banging from them which im sure they dont think id be able to hear but can so i imagine they can pretty clearly hear the thud even if its on the outside wall. Really want a solution but do not like the so many holes and wobble of this system.

[@jamiedrummer6809]

Was that first hole in the back of the board drilled straight🤣..

[@Sharkfin180]

About 4-5 months ago I decided to move my setup from the other side of my room next to my neibours wall but not on my neibours wall. I started playing at about 10 o’clock at night and played for about an hour. The next morning I got up and started playing again and then I heard a knock at the door. The old prick from next door was standing at the door questioning the tapping/ banging noise which he could hear that was “driving him nuts”. He Reckoned it was disrupting his and his wife’s sleep and they were struggling to sleep with the sound of the darts. I had to get a wispa which cost about 80quid and I assumed this had solved the problem so I started playing again. But I was wrong it hadn’t solved to problem I was still getting complaints so once again I had to move the board to a different wall.

[@Sam_brack]

@@Sharkfin180 oh that’s very interesting. I guess it depends on the type of wall. Also my Mormon friends don’t use that room all the time. I can imagine if it was backed onto a bedroom it would drive them insane

It sounds like you’ve done the best thing by compromising and finding a different wall, you get to enjoy the darts you’re entitled to and they get to enjoy the peaceful home they’re entitled to.

Prove me wrong but from what I understand, the Wispa should reduce the sound on the other side of the wall and not in the same room. Wy does he record the sound right above the board, that doesn't make any sense to me...

[@Sam_brack]

@@silisto4223 if it reduces on one side it’s going to reduce on the other.

[@DavidLee-te2oz]

​@Sam_brack not true. Massive difference in other rooms. Not much in the same room. I've done in depth testing with a decibel meter. The wispa is equally as effective as a stand for adjacent rooms as the vibration does not go into the wall

[@Sam_brack]

@@DavidLee-te2oz I mean. I can literally hear the difference in the room im in

[@DavidLee-te2oz]

@Sam_brack ​@Sam_brack its a little different but my neighbour could hear my normaly mounted board 3 rooms away. He cant hear the wispa in the next room. Thats the entire point of the invention. One seller advertises it as a silent experience for the thrower. I tried explaining it to one of their workers but they couldnt get it.

[@silisto4223]

Maybe that's true. However, I don't see the point in minimizing the volume in your own room. The product was developed to not disturb the neighbors, as described on the official website. So this video is pretty pointless for me, when you mesure the volume right above the dartboard.

How does it work with rotating the board

[@DavidLee-te2oz]

Remove the board change the position of the pulleys using the colour guide and hang back on. Easy

[@wilks1878]

If you notice the back of the board, there's a bunch of different holes of different colours, and you just rotate to a new colour and put the mounts into the matching colour and hang it up. If he was smart, he would have drilled pilot holes in all of them when he installed it so when he moves it, he doesn't need a drill.

[@DavidLee-te2oz]

You don't really need to drill if you can screw with decent pressure ooooeeeer missus

I tried all sorts and tested. Underlay does reduce the noise a bit but the solid bracket connection still transmits lots of noise. The wispas suspension system is massively better
