I've been near quieter helicopters...
Build it a little dog house with shipping eggcrate foam inside...
Yea that thing is too big and too loud. I got a shop vac. A small one. And a compressor, a small one. They are very loud. The are on the bottom of a steel wire rack that measures 24X48. I think I will make the bottom of the wire rack an even 24x48x24. And build a box inside the rack to sound proof the vac and the compressor. And I won't need exhaust fans cause the vac will always be pushing air out. I watched a few videos of guys making shop vac boxes and they work incredibly. Thats what your paying for when you spend $1k on a quiet vac or compressor. You're paying for the box. So I can build one that will keep the vac and compressor.
If you're going whole hog, get some druformat, used in high end speaker system installs in cars and such. But eggcrate foam really w9rks well for a cheap anechoic chamber simulacrum. Don'tforget wheels and a sccess door or you'll hate yo7rself in a few weeks.
I don't have room for wheels. I have a shelve similar to this (https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics...F8&qid=1484095237&sr=8-5&keywords=wire+shelve). The vac and the compressor fit on the bottom shelve. And I want to build an enclosure inside that shelves area. Since I don't have a woodshop in my NYC apartment. I think I will build the enclosure out of polycarbonate. I can cut it easy and build a sealed box easy, with access. So far this is all going well.
I was confused. I thought you were putting this under the bottom rack, on the floor.
Nifty,thanks!
Cause its going into my 2bedroom NYC apartment. The square feet that would take up would cost too much, lol.
You could repurpose it as a central vacuum for your apartment.
Maybe, if I owned this space and wanted to gut the walls. I've seen central vac systems in homes. Like in the kitchen there is a small door on the floor. When you kick it open it sucks. Very cool stuff.
Gut the walls? How about a long hose?
Just don't have the space.
