I have a sheet of Tyvek that I purchased from SMD. Is there some way to make that sheet a little softer and less stiff?

Not sure how big your sheet of tyvek is, but I washed mine in the washing machine.

Washing it in a washing machine that has an agitator a couple of times or folding and refolding a couple of hundred times will work.
I don't use detergent and don't use fabric softener.

I roll them up newspaper like and then crunch it (twist the ends in the opposite direction)
Just use it and it will be less noisy over time.
Just as an aside, HardiWrap is similar (they claim better of course) and it's not crinkly.
Look up Tyvek on Amazon. I purchased a piece for my footprint, real light and no noise at all.

Putting Tyvek in a washing machine is unnecessary and wasteful. Just crumple, twist and manipulate the noise out of it. Vigourously manipulated it will be tamed in a fraction of the time required to run a washing machine cycle without wasting water or electricity.
I shake my head when I read these posts about someone wanting to hike over 2000 miles but can't spend 10 minutes preparinging their Tyvek.
Is this Tyvek noise like the mythical Xtherm noise?
Just curious in case I need to replace my plastic solutions.
Has anyone tried the kite material Tyvek?

I see things a bit differently than that. I think all the water belongs to all of us. The cost of generating electricity burdens us all beyond the balance due at the end of the month. I think that conservation is everyone's responsibility. I would expect those who share an appreciation for nature and all that it gives us would not waste any of it.
But of course, just my point of view. I'll do my part to save the planet for the both of us.
