Good project, but I needed soundproofing against that music hook.

As somone with actual experience in fluid dynamics, there is no way in hell that the air intake is anywhere near adequate for air intake and for cooling your compressor. Don't be surprised when your compressor dies on you much much much earlier than you expected

Brilliant! Just what I need for my noisy compressor. Thanks.

Great job! I'm going to do the same thing as you did. Thanks a lot!

Which material you used for get noise? I mean what is the name of this foam and where did you buy it? I want to order that but I couldn't find it

Great video! 👍😃 I love it!! 🤩 I'm looking to do the same basic thing except that I want the boxes to be built into a new wall I'm adding in the garage. I have a basic idea of what I'm getting myself into but probably not entirely... I've decided that the empty space in the garage that tends to get stuff stacked & packed and then forgotten, needs to be sectioned off as it's own room with a specific purpose to keep clutter & disorganization to a minimum. I'm designing an "Ebay room" (could be turned into a nursery if necessary?) in the garage. But my husband's large tools, like the air compressorS (and accessories) and the generator, need a permanent home where they're also still conveniently useful and easily accessible. My solution is to build a wall beside the space where the car gets parked with built-in cabinets to hide his oversized tools. It'll consume some of my "Ebay room's" space to do this but it'll be worth it to provide a solution to multiple problems - the need to declutter, find a permanent home for his large tools where they're most useful anyhow, hide the large tools in plain sight, and the need for a raised "desk" work space in my area so this should work for both of us perfectly, in theory anyhow.... I hope... 🤞🤞 Nah, I'm certain it'll be better than what we've currently got going on in the garage! 🤣😉 I'm certainly open to suggestions here. Watching a few similar videos, I came across a retractable air hose contraption that I think I'll add into my plans but wait to give it to him as a Christmas gift. I didn't know something like that existed! He'll love that too!

What material is it & where did you buy it?

the before and after sold me to your idea. thankss

Please what is the name of that white plastic you use in making holes with the drilling machine

Fantastic work Gareth, I had thought about it and seeing it on your channel is a great inspiration to build mine, i do a lit of sandblasting and my shop is basically an oversized shed in a residential area which limits my working hours to avoid disturbing my neighbours this has ought to fix my issues Thanks for sharing, sub'd

what kind of foam did you use?

Thanks very much for this video. I have a small project to do in my apartment with a small compressor. Please can you share how , where and name of the broad and tools you use.so that i can buy and build mine

Nice build! Did you measure DB? (Dezibel, how loud it is) there are Apps for that .. got same compressor and wonder how quit it can go

I'll make one like yours. Seems easy and quick to make. Thanks for sharing your experience. Regards Norwegian in the Philippines 😉😊💪👍

Excelente trabajo, continúe subiendo videos así

Great video, does the extraction fan stay on or only when the compressor kicks in

What is the white foam stuff being glued in?

Great video. I had thought of doing a similar process but using wood screws to join the pieces of wood/mdf. Are brackets better or stronger?

Nice. I'm about to do something similar myself. That made some difference.. 👌

I notice you have a lip at the back where the top board meets the vertical back board (the part where you caulked)...is there a reason you wanted the lip and didnt make the boards overlap?

Great!

your video just solved my problem with my loud compressor...what are your thoughts on soundproofing material? also, i will be installing fans as you did...i will hook fans and compressor to a surge protector located outside of the box so i can turn them all on/off simultaneously...great vid!

good job man, but what is the material , i mean the white stuff fir the sound proof?

Garreth how is this coping temperature wise? Have you had to increase airflow, or is keeping reasonably cool as built?

whats that foam?

Is it going to help if I mix between two soundproofing foams or is it going to be next to useless? (Also keeping the holes for the air circulation) Also, what are the dimensions? Thanks!

great video and work i shall be building one of these boxes as my 3HP compresser shall drive our street nuts if i dont make it quiet, i am thinking of using loft instilation as a sound barrier and use 18mm chip board for walls and a computer fans for extraction of heat, great video.

How many db's does your compressor output ?

great work!

Do you have a list of stuff you used ? Thank you.

What kind of foam did you ues

Is there a fan at the top of the box, its function is to suck air from outside or suck air from inside the box?

Thanks for the video! How well did this hold up over time? Was heat an issue?

That’s neat!

What did you use to line the box?

Boa noite. Excelente vídeo. Depois de ver vários videos achei o seu bem melhor.! Tenho um compressor de 50 litros e vou fazer uma caixa dessa, a espuma realmente abafa o barulho??? Desde já agradeço a sua atenção!

What material were you using

How do you connect the fan to power source?

That first beat sounds like Anita Ward "ring my bell"...👍

Great idea. Do you think that will work for a pool pump? Enough air flow? Thanks.

like the DIY box .

What type of foam was used to line inside the box?

So do you just keep the little fan on all the time? Or does it only turn on when the compressor turns on ?

Going to make one for my 3d printer tomorrow, its fkin killing me.... beep bop beep beep bop booooop beep.

What size did you make yours?

What material did you use...

what did you use for the insulation material ?

Great video!

Nice.. im in the middle of watching it.. like your editing skills and to the point,.. Do you have a cut list, or part list, in the video or u can post, like material type, est. costs. etc.... Is using screws and metal a good idea or can you get by with an adhesive...? Solid work though.. ALSO I DID SEE another construction with the same crazy zig zag air lids like the others but his main difference was he removed the feet grommets and used bungee cords and heavy duty nylon straps weaving it underneath to have the unit suspended supposedly that was one of the biggest reductions. Thanks for taking the time to post your workflow though. Cheers.

Another good idea is to “snake” ducting from the fan . I built a soundproof rehearsal booth and it’s day and night.

Hi Quick question - for the outlet do you used also a fan or natural flow..?

cou,ld you tell me what materials used, certain wood need to be used too?

Wow Awesomes thank you bro.

Great vid, what kind of foam and box sealant did you use ?

wow!what a difference!!awesome job!!do you have a video for a generator?

What size are the wood?

Good Job Thanks

How many hp is your compressor?

Does fan blow out or suck in?

How is it with heat? I have a direct drive as well. It’s a great compressor for my needs, it’s just LOUD! lol

Hey, great video and thank you for sharing your build! I wonder if the ventilation is enough for the compressor running all day? Have you experienced any issues with it? And have you re-cabled the on-off switch to be accessible from the outside? Thank you again for the video - I will build my own enclosure in the next couple weeks :)

I built a generator box. Was 76 Db now 61. But I gotta go lower. Any ideas? Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia

cool thanks

Thx Garreth, nice build, good info. By the way, what's your bike there? Cheers

Well done 👍 How is it holding up these days? Any design ideas if you were to build another one? Thank you for sharing this 🇨🇦🍻😎

Curious how this held up? How long did it last? What were some of the issues that came up?

I have same thing I m now going to do this

Wow

Super bro

Thank you

How do you keep it from over heating

If you want to save money score an old fridge for free and use that for the box. Run snake ducting to make it even quieter

So where does the heat go

Probably a stupid question but do you have a fan in electricity? thank you

Air vent, inside I noticed it was raised somehow. Can you please describe what you did

What thickness was the particle board?

Neat I came from Instagram

cheap? that looks like most of a sheet of 3/4" MDF and idk what the foam is. what are the material costs?

you just lowered audio levels in post producion. withoud dB measuring it tells nothing. Plus it will overheat in that coffin.

Where did you get 85%?

My only concern would be the compressor overheating. Shortening it's life...

☝️But you have to pay attention to one thing! Heat can cause fires! Your workshop can be reduced to ashes! Why not use lime or gypsum blocks !? The best way is to use aluminum plates for framing, with a strong cooling system, arrange it inside with gypsum or lime blocks, from the outside as under the roof, insulate it with fiberglass, two channels Dig the vent on it, one on the left and one on the right, the channels must be at least 2 meters high, you can even equip it with a car cooling system. But ventilation ducts are very important. Strictly avoid wood and plastic incendiary materials! Safety is the first important issue in technique!🤔

Dude, list the materials you are using. isn't Fiberboard the best?

Awesome build man. Do you remember how much this project costed? Would live to build one for my garage!

You make great content buddy. Awesome work. You definitely deserve more likes and subs. One tip though: Try to attract more subs from countries with more RU-vid users. ✌️🙏

I love watching people wood work, who don’t usually wood work.... anyways. Impressive!!!

Hey Garreth, a feq Qs. Where did you buy the upholstery foam? Is your compressor sitting on foam directly? Did you ever consider soundproofing materials like those used for homes - or somehow you found out this foam works wonders?

Could just buy a new compressor. Modern high quality compressors arent too loud and one with a large tank so its not turning on as much

joia

u burn down papas residence bro HA HA

Dynamat.

why is it so hard to find actual data on these projects....showing a before and after means nothing, give me NUMBERS...

A decibel meter would have been better for the before and after ?

That's like $300 can of wood.

That a baby compressor

Good video, music is cancer though.

Good effort. really annoying music. mute

i'm gonna make one of these to put my girlfriend in.

Not cheap or easy. Lol dude builds motorcycles and rides them out of there and he’s worried about the compressor. Lol just kidding hood job.
