[TheForge] Acoustical baffling

My 7.5 hp T-30 compressor is located outside my shop and under a roof but  
not enclosed. But it is close (100') to a neighbor. It comes on frequently when  
I am using the Old Blue hammer or sand blasting cabinet. I'm afraid it is  
beginning to irritate them and I would like to head off any problems. 
 
I put up a 4' x 8' wall with T-111 and home insulation. Helps but still a  
lot of noise going to the neighbors. I was thinking some kind of convenient  
roll-up sound insulating blanket might be available that I could just drop down,  
like a shade or curtain when in use. Any one have any experience or 
suggestions?  They would be greatly appreciated.
