Compressors That Don T Raise The Noise Floor

Most air compressors operate from 40db to 100db which is a huge range roughly a quiet office to a lawnmower.

Compressors that don t raise the noise floor. Noisy compressors are annoying. Loud noises contribute to workplace dysfunction and overall chaos. Mine does the noise thing too and goes away when you ground the guitar. This will produce weaker results but it will still make a noticeable difference.

Compressor noise floor question. In a spectrum if the entire noise floor is raised it is possible that we have a situation of extreme bearing wear. You can cover the compressor s motor directly with the soundproofing material instead. Assuming you don t want noise rising in pauses but it happens move the slider to right though it would be better to get the noise.

Even so the noise level will often increase to some extent but this suppression helps to prevent the noise level from rising too much. It sounds like when you ground it with your body it goes away which is normal in my experience. If the noise is biased towards the higher frequencies in the spectrum then we may have process or flow problem like possible cavitation which may be further confirmed by high acceleration measurement or filtered acceleration measurement on the pump body on the delivery side. Compressors raise the noise floor and make any noise already there more noticeable.

If you don t feel like building a wooden box and covering it with soundproofing material don t worry. Cover the air compressor motor with soundproofing material.
