Has anyone installed some sort of muffler set up on their compressor to quiet it down? Did it work? How exactly did you do it?
Most compressors do come with an air inlet filter silencer. but if it is still too loud for you you can always pipe the air inlet outside. about 60% off the noise from a compressor comes from the inlet air rushing into the inlet, by piping the inlet outside or into another room you get rid of that noise. it is a pretty common practice in automotive or small shops that have offices close to the air compressor. just use the same diameter piping to re route the inlet, dont use galvanized or copper, just use standard Black iron pipe and fittings, and if you are worried about getting contamination from that black pipe just clean it with soapy water before you use the pipe and fittings.
