Another dead simple solution to eliminating the noise is this:
Hold a finger just slightly under one corner of the tube as you lower it. Can even be your pinky as the rest of your hand grips the tube higher. It catches the shell, too, and the descent of both items is totally controlled. This is what I have been doing with my Mel Babcock version for over 10 years, and I don't have any problems. (This is the exact solution that Grand Illusions suggested earlier, too.) Another easy method might be just to line the inside top of the shell (the ceiling, as it were), with adhesive felt (very thin), or regular felt glued in place, from a hobby store (Michaels, etc.). That's what I used on the inside of my tubes with the Hippity Hop Rabbits. - Donald

How about a link so those of us who aren't familiar with Babcock's blocks can take a look?

Thanks!
Mel's ABC Blocks are really nice. I have an earlier set, where the stenciled ABCs themselves look different. It broke my heart when they were damaged once in shipping my sub-table on an airline, but I glued the tube back together. I think it's time for a new set this holiday season. I also have one of his square circles, which is very nice. - Donald
