Component dampening

I have a nice quality tube preamp, but the casework, when tapped or thumped on either the front panel or lid will emit a slight ringing tone. I would like to eliminate this by lining the interior of the front panel and lid with some type of sound deadening substance. Any suggestions on what type(s) of material would help me realize my goal would be appreciated. Thanks...

I really try to keep my components dry. Dampening them is just not a good idea. DAMPING their vibrations, however, is
usually best done with a few pieces of sticky asphalt, and then isolating them with Neuance or Rollerblocks, etc.
Sorry to be the grammarian again....
