Abstract
A damper () for a rail (), includes a deformable material () and an elongate resonant member (), the resonant member being of a stiff material as compared to the deformable material and being sized to exhibit a resonant frequency in the range of vibration frequencies of the rail, wherein the resonant member includes a clip () extending therefrom so as to retain the resonant member and the deformable material in place on the rail. The clip preferably extends laterally of the resonant member to grip the underside of the rail. The clip can have an engagement formation on the end thereof, to engage with a like formation of a further damper located on the opposing side of the rail.
