Abstract
An article that is configured to be rotatably mounted includes an embedded hollow cavity into which at least one dampening member is inserted. The dampening member or members frictionally engage the hollow cavity such that relative movement between the dampening member or members and the hollow cavity operates to attenuate vibration that is generated when the article is rotated.
