The most cost effective way to kill the sound without worrying about thermals is to move the drive motor-head assembly off the tank. I did this by welding up a cradle for the assembly and a wall hanger, hung the cradle with isolation hangers and routed the output through a 3/4 copper condenser then down to the tank. All the high end noise is gone, there's no notable vibrations, and I don't have to worry about heat buildup because it's open air. This is with a Campbell Hausfeld TQ3010. I've been very pleased with the results and it looks amazing to boot if you like that old industrial aesthetic. I haven't touched the intake side yet but the idea is to change the two small canister style housings for a washable K&N car type. I'm just not sure if I want to fab something myself or by a molded plastic housing and tie in. Though, that's more for easy maintenance than anything else at this point.

Some compressors just make a ton of noise. I got a tour of a diesel body shop and they had a cool compressor setup. Their compressor was an old Ingersoll unit with a big piston. It made a steady thump-thump-thump-thump sound that was a lot like a 4-stroke dirt bike but slower. The 200 gallon tank was wrapped with tires and ratchet straps. Naturally, it being a diesel shop, they had a big chrome stack welded to it and a fan from a semi for cooling. That was quite possibly the coolest shop I've ever been to. It had this derelict look to it. Galvanized steel buildings. One had a really high ceiling with a bunch of engines and 55 gallon drums. The other side was the workshop. 4 bays. Disassembly, cleaning, fabrication, sandblast/paint booth.

I’ve had that same compressor and motor for about 6 years now and it runs like a champ. It’s the only air compressor that’s never needed draining either. I check the drain valve once a year and there’s never any water inside but she’s noisy haha the reason I’m here. It’s probably the loudest compressor I’ve ever owned too.

@AnthonyJ350 Жыл бұрын

It's definitely a super loud compressor. That's why I had to add the air silencers. I do have to empty mine once a month though. More moisture in the atmosphere in my area?

Build a small cabinet or enclosure that's very simple. Just 2x4s, MDF on the inside, 1/2" plywood on the outside, and use rubber washers to standoff the MDF boards from the 2x4s and the screws attaching them. When you fit it all together, caulk the seams with something like Big Stretch caulking. If you want to go a step further, fill the dead space with batting. Further? Put anechoic foam wedge tiles on the MDF facing inward. Even FURTHER? Put a sheet of mass loaded vinyl over the MDF on the inside and put the foam tiles on top of that. For cooling and air intake, build a port on the side facing away from the shop and make it a baffle stack which forces the sound to hit several 90° turns. Put a fan in one of those baffle ports at the bottom and put another port on the top. Hot air will rise up and out. Line the walls of the baffle ports with anechoic wedge foam tiles too, but you can just make them out of the plywood. If you go all the way to the mass loaded vinyl and tiles level of design, that thing should not be any louder externally than a quiet conversation from a few feet away.

@mannys9130 2 жыл бұрын

@@AnthonyJ350 You would lose space, yeah. :( It's a compromise space, or noise. You could put the intake and exhaust baffle ports on top instead, having them be skinny with the exhaust a bit taller than the intake with fan. I personally would just do the MDF inside, any kind of stud in the middle, with 1/2" plywood or OSB outside. Alternatively, you could do 5/8" drywall on the inside and 1/2" plywood or OSB on the outside. The inner board/sheet needs to be dense, and something different than the outer board. The rubber insulating standoffs that are for the inner board could also be put on the outer boards to give more attenuation or you could just skip that and just attach the inner and outer boards to the studs in the center with a flexible adhesive that's like a Shore 20 or Shore 30 squishy. The air gap can be modest, like an inch or 2. Doesn't have to be huge. The point is to make the sound trans several media with vastly different densities. It doesn't like that. So super dense inner board, changing to an air gap, changing to lower density outer plywood is good. If you wrap the tank with dense sound deadening like Dynamat or that cheaper knockoff (I'd use that since it's indoors) then you'd have dense to air to dense to air to medium density and then out into the shop. I'd do this... Knockoff dynamat on the tank, drywall boards on the inside, either soft adhesive or cheap rubber washers and drywall screws attaching it, scrap salvaged pallets for free to make the middle studs, 1/2" plywood or OSB whatever is cheaper on the outside, holding the sides all together with metal plumbers strap, caulking the joints with whatever cheap squishy adhesive I used for the boards or some cheap stretchy silicone, and then I'd make the baffle stacks out of the pallets too and I'd put them both on top making 2 baffles in each and I'd line it with cheap egg crate foam off Amazon. I'd use a fan from Goodwill that fit and I'd wire it in parallel with the compressor power so whenever you're in the shop with the compressor switched on the fan is running and when you leave at night with it turned off the fan is off too. Easy. I'd make the gap 1 inch thick between boards. Shouldn't lose too much space that way. You could laminate 2 pallet slats together back to back with adhesive and use those for studs. Altogether, maybe $200 using drywall and OSB? 🤔 Maybe $300? It would be extremely quiet. This general concept is mostly used in "generator noise boxes" but many people use it for shop compressors too. Doing this with a scroll compressor, you won't even hear it. I think the compressor there is isolated off the floor with thick rubber feet, right? It looks like it. If not, do that for sure or the floor will transmit the sound a lot.

I am coming in way late but A natural loop of the rubber tubing will get rid of a lot of the high freq noise. Also at the bottom of the muffler you can add a common 4cyl airbox with flat filter. Pretty much any airbox from any car will do but the 90's Toyota, Prius are super common and they have a clip style box that you can change without tools. The filters are the flat rectangle style and they are cheap, (Probably way cheaper than the K&N and have way more airflow) I know Toyota mount to a flat surface so an easy wall mount can be done. You can do this backwards and find out what is a common car cheap K&N filter and find out what car it goes to. My Uncle had one of those huge Tornado dual snorkel 455 air filters for his Compressor. He would just unscrew the wingnut and blow the filter out every so often. The Air box style does have internal dampers to help with noise.

@@AnthonyJ350 it's loud but good, for sure the best value. Most of these brands are identical with different paint jobs. I have a couple water traps on it, I had a dedicated split out to my sandblast cabinet but I need to run another water trap to it. I drain it regularly, I wish there was a safe way to paint or coat the interior to try to get the most life out of it. That's the reason I bought this, I had a look inside my old swann and it's so rusty. Running shop lines along the wall was the next big shop air improvement, they often go on sale at Princess Auto.

Use rubber mounts for the pump and maybe the motor onto the bracket. Mine [tank on its side] has large rubber feet. Which deadens the sound a lot. And yes that is the way it was made!! That big upright tank loved in America drums big time. That hose restricts the air intake big time.
