I need some education on the use dive compressors. I recently bought a house where my neighbor fills dive tanks for 3-4 hours a day, everyday. I'm getting tired of the noise, but I want to do the neighborly thing and approach him with a win-win solution. I believe he has no store front or dive shop - he meets up with clients out at the various beaches. This is his livelihood, this is how he feeds his family so I respect that, but the sound from his home-based business is driving me mad! I need ideas to engineer out the most bothersome noise. It's not the compressor running that bothers me, but the clanging of steel tanks, and the periodic whistle of the condensate blowdown valve. Are there rubber sleeves I can buy for him to wrap his tanks ? And is there an OEM muffler/ sound diffuser for the blowoff piping? For the guys who have home compressors and use them on a daily basis, what are you doing to lower the noise level for your neighbors? I plan on approaching him with engineering solutions, offering to pay for the equipment ,etc. but if he tells me to mind my own business, then I'll be forced to seek legal counsel, and we all know how that ends up.
