I've seen two sets of ideas for enclosing an air compressor in a plywood housing with soundboard to quieten the beast. One plan shows a box that completely engulfs the compressor, all the way down to a rubber seal on the floor with a sound baffled air intake. The other plan is much simpler and covers the compressor from mid-tank up. The air intake is from the open sides around the tank.
Has anyone done this type of sound control on their compressor? I wonder how much it affects the compressor cooling. I live in Houston where we worry about things like that.
All these woodworking books about heating the shop and woodburning stoves are absolutely foreign to us in our climate.
