Soundproof enclosure for my air compressor

The arrival of my new pneumatic underpinner meant that I needed to be familiar with using and maintaining an air compressor. I got a 12cfm Pilot Air compressor to power the new underpinner as well as my other air tools. Although this capacity is more than enough for my use currently, I hope to still be using it for years to come even later when I will inevitabley have more air requirements. Having not had used an air compressor before, I was surprised at how noisy it iwas. Although my petrol lawn mower is much much noisier, everytime the compressor motor decides to kick in, no fail, always, always scares the hell out of me. Man that's loud! Add to the fact that I mainly use it during weekday, or weekend nights. Plus my garage door is metal which creates a lot of echo in effect amplifying the noise more. I'm sure the neighbors won't be happy. Stay tuned to see how I go in creating a soundproof enclosure for this beast. I already got the drawing plans, and materials ready. I should be able to finish most of it in 1 day. Maybe...
