Reduce Residential Air Conditioner Noise with a Sound Blanket

One thing that many home owners would like to do is reduce the noise produced by their Air Conditioners which is often a high pitched sound that echoes between surrounding homes only making it worse. Sound Blankets are a popular solution for reducing Air Conditioner noise from air conditioners or heat pumps. The sound blanket fits inside the cabinet and wraps around the compressor — the noisiest component of an air conditioner or heat pump. The use of a sound blanket will not adversely affect the compressor’s performance. In fact, sound blankets are a conventional form of noise reduction for air conditioners and heat pumps and most manufacturers use them frequently to reduce noise levels. The Brinmar sound blanket shown in this video is a cost-effective solution to noise reduction as compared to relocating or replacing your Heating and Cooling equipment or building a sound barrier.
