Sound Dampening for a Blower

02 March 2011 - 08:20 PM

Heyall,
So, I just got, in the mail, a little blower. It is tiny, but supplies a ton of air for it's size, which is excellent, my only problem is that it is as loud as a full sized vaccuum cleaner, or a circular saw. Not pleasant. So, I'm looking into ways to dampen the sound, because if I don't, it will drive me insane. I'm thinking of putting it inside of a heavily padded box, but with air vents so that it doesn't over heat. Sound like a good idea? Any others? Are there commercially available sound dampening paints or somesuch? I don't think that wrapping it with chain will help, unfortunately.

Thanks!
Arch
