[TheForge] Acoustical baffling

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

Hi Don:
Figuring out the main sound frequencys  of the compressor and then, 
making sure that the volume of the enclosure does not have the same 
resonant frequency ( like a drum) is gonna matter a lot.
If you build  dry-stack walls of  cinder block, cover it with surface 
bonding cement  to hold it together ( fast and cheap). and fill it with 
sand for absorbant mass it won't retransmit the sound. Add an absorbant 
surface inside ( sound tiles, egg crates, etc) and  that'll shut it up 
for sure.
Sinking it in the ground is also a possibility. 
What a lot of work. Back to the rent-a-dog..........PF
