Discuss.
The idea would only work as much as it damped the metal. The idea sounds like it might work okay. The best approach would most likely be on the "dry side" with a bond on mass tape. Depending on the properties (mass versus insulation) of the stuff used for acoustics installations that may be sufficiet although adding mass will really reduce the panels vibration due to the impacting of pebbles/sand.

I know, no real answer, just stuff to think about............
