I was wondering if any one has had any success sound proofing their brewery? We have a compressor that deafens us all every morning when the kegs are being cleaned. Has anyone had any success sound proofing noisier bits of equipment.

Can you build a small 'mechanical room' to house the noisy/hot/etc stuff? Otherwise you could get a quieter compressor and take steps to prevent vibration like bolting it to the ground over rubber anti-vibration pads.
Our ingersoll-rand 2 stage (2340L5-V) is a lot queiter than we expected. I woudlnt want to sleep in a room with it but for a factory setting its really not bad. We put it in a small room because we were worried about noise but that may not have been necessary.

I'll second the rotary compressor answer.
Mine's running right now, ten feet from me in my tiny shop, and it just kind of hums. When the old reciprocating comp kicks in, it scares the Hell out of me!
As an alternative, what others have said--move the comp elsewhere, sound insulate it. Sound insulation is different from thermal insulation--Google it. There is a lot of good advice out there.Timm Turrentine
