It might be, but the 3:1 loudness ratio sounds about right if you're comparing a YH-2 to something like the HD 600. There's a lot of energy under that hump. Sucking it all out makes a big difference.
It is possible to overdamp. What we're after is the point of critical damping, adding more and more damping until we reach the point where the 'fram starts, and most important, stops when it's told to.
By the way, my profound appreciation to you for your work with the microsuede. Meanwhile I'm also trying some nonwoven polyester, like Tyvek only thicker and fluffed up, that's used to stop drafts over doorsills. Sill seal, threshold tape, something like that. Found a big roll of it at the dollar store.
