We have a catamaran and when at a dock with a contrary wind pushing wavelets underneath the transom we experience a cacophany of noise in our stern stateroom. We have tried various products to reduce this noise and we may have found the answer. We bought the swim noodles with the central channel. We thread a line down the channel and then tie a knot at each opening to restrain the noodle. We then maneuver the noodle underneath the transom at the water/ hull interface and tie the ends of the line forward to a stanchion on either side. It seems to work like a charm. We would assume this would work with a mono hull also. Good luck.

Waves slapping on the stern have never bothered us. Right now I'm anchored off South Beach in Miami. Lots of wakes from 1000 hp speedboats (yesterday was Sunday, they're all out on a weekend). Wind against the tide, bouncing a bit. We can mange to sleep through it all. After all, it is a boat.

Brilliant. That's worth a try.
