Hello,
I've a question I have not found an answer or suggestion to. I've purchased a Grizzly 0548Z 2HP DC. Even though I've researched it, it's still quite loud. And, I live in a townhouse with a 2-car garage. I wish to be considerate of the neighbors, plus I'm worried about the . . . let me put it politely . . . rather "active" HOA. I'm building a closet to contain the noise. I think I've got a good plan, except for the 3 inlet tubes, which initially I'm thinking will be cut at the bottom of the closet near the motor. Of course, I'll cut them in the back of the closet to point them away from the garage door opening, but if it's near the bottom, it'll be near the motor.
Do I just wrap the tubing proximal to the closet with foam and/or mass loaded vinyl? Do you think I should build a second acoustic baffle box with foam and some turns?
I would hate to build this thing and have the sound just escape through these three 4 inch+ holes.
Thanks for any help.
