Abstract
A touch fastener mounting system having a touch fastener component attached to a member and adapted to releasably engage a mating touch fastener component. The touch fastener mounting system having a touch fastener component comprising a planar backing material carrying engaging elements on one surface thereof, the other surface of the backing material is connected to the member so that the member is isolated from the backing material whereby, upon separation of the engaged touch fastener components, the amount of noise-producing energy transmitted from the backing material to the member is decreased thereby reducing the amount of noise produced by the member. In a second embodiment, the noise producing energy is transmitted to the member and dampened by a high mass material attached to a rear surface of the member.
