The vibration-damped housing includes a side wall and a damping plate structure that extends across the housing and is attached to the inner surface portions of the first and second side walls. The damping plate structure (2) includes a non-rigid layer (12) sandwiched between two rigid layers (13, 14), and between the first and second side walls (5, 6; 22, 23). Each rigid layer comprises at least one cut (15, 16) passing through the rigid layer (13, 14), the cut (15, 16) between the first and second side walls (5, 6). The extension of each rigid layer is made discontinuous. |
