QUICK ANSWER anyone?!!

Does tuning get rid of ringing and if so, please explain briefly.
What about tape or something like that?

Any quick comments would be appreciated greatley.

Cheersa.

I forgot to say it is the snare drum i am querying about.

Tuning can effect the ring. But if you need a quick fix moon gels, masking tape, tissue and duct tape.......... work to get rid of some ring when applied to the batter head.

If tuned properly it won't ring.
A high pitch ring is usually a result of the heads working against each other.
Once it's tuned and you still want to dampen it dry, just add a snare dead ringer to the top.

Cheers folks, yeah its just sometimes that the ring happens. Maybe when the stick hits the outer of the snare. I will try small tuning adjustements.

How are you tuning it in the first place?

How many half / quarter turns are you using on either head? That will give us a better understanding of why you are getting a ring or not.
