I'm approaching the final stages of building a new garage.
In one corner, I built a small room to house my compressor.
It's a 60-gallon upright made by Campbell-Housefeld.
My primary goal for putting the compressor into a room is to drastically reduce the noise this thing makes.
Right now, the walls are only framed in, and before I finish this room,
I'd like to find out if any of you guys have done this. Also, what did you use
to absorb the sound? Also, how well did it work? Would you do it that way again, or would you use different material?
Finally, like most of us, I'm trying to do this as reasonably priced (cheap) as I can.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

 

line the inside of the walls with Styrofoam that sit around the compressor, should kill allot of the noise.

 

I think zonolite would work well

zonolite is a pourable insulation that is typically used to fill
cmu (block) cells
I assume its a 2X? studs and sheetrock wall???
thicker the better
