Hi, I finally remembered to borrow the sound pressure level meter from work so that I could take a few measurements of my cyclone.
I have an Oneida 1.5HP component machine with external filter, located in the basement of my townhouse.
The cyclone is suspended from the main floor joists with 3/8" threaded rod anchored in rubber vibration isolators at the floor joists.
There is no sound attenuating material in the shop, the cyclone is suspended in the corner without an enclosure.
The cyclone is directly below the living room, with the basement door beside the living room.
House with no activity.......39dBA
Basement 1m from cyclone 72.5dBA avg, 73.2 dBA max
Living room, door open 48.5 dBA avg, 49.2 dBA max
Living room door closed 47.1 dBA average
Regards, Rod.
