I just finished wiring and plumbing a new Ingersoll Rand 60g 5hp compressor. It's in my shop/garage and currently located next to water heater but not bolted to the floor yet. I'm some what limited regarding the location but can move it around some at current location. It runs great and provides the needed pressure for spraying, my main need for the new rig. The issue with the compressor (and previous one for that matter) is the noise level. I teach covering and painting seminars for Stewart Systems in my shop and with the compressor running, it's pretty much impossible to talk in the spray booth. Moving the compressor outside would be ideal but not very practical as that would require extensive electrical and plumbing modifications and not in the cards at this time (may build a new shop in the future). For now, I need to come up with some way to reduce the noise without restricting the heat and air flow needed around the compressor.
Anyone out there have any ideas, resources, or pictures of a workable solution? I'm sure this is an issue for many who have a loud compressor in the shop have to deal with so I bet there are great ideas out there.
Thanks,
Marty
