Has anyone built a soundproofing enclosure for their air compressor? I have a 3 gallon compressor and it is really loud and now that I'm stuch inside for the winter i would love to use it. I have a mini airbrush compressor, but it doesnt seem to be able to keep up very well (auto shut off @ 38 psi).
Is there another way to quiet it down without putting it in another room (not practical).

Thanks,

MS

You can build something around it, but it has to have fresh air so it don't overheat if running alot. Wouldn't make a small box over it.
Good luck.
