Art of Music Mini Note Magnets Silent

These magnets have a rubber pad so that the metal of the magnet does not come in direct contact with the metal of the music stand. This should be helpful as the 'pings' of many magnets can be very audible when the musicians are changing their parts during an outdoors performance. However these magnets only partially solve the problem. My colleagues and I feel that a slightly softer rubber pad would be better, as there is still a signficant noise when these ones are used. However with care the noise is less than with standard magnets.
