When you have the track exactly where you want it glue it with either a PVA glue & remove the track pins after the glue has dried - this will cure your problem of noise.

ER-Decor make an excellent PVA/latex based glue that is even better than standard PVA for noise suppression (its ether Decorail or Decorbal- can't remember which !).

You can remove the track later with either PVA or ER-Decor by gently soaking & the track should come up without damage for later re-use.

I'm surprised that you are having problems with the FLM track - is it Profi ? As an aside if you want to sell it we are looking for some more (send me a PM if you are interested.)

Hpe that this helps.

If you're really concerned about noise transmission you can use a latex based PVC to hold the ballast down - it won't stop all of it, but it will stop a lot. (See my ealier post about the ER-Decor adhesives - I'll check up on which is which).
