dampening the sound of a water pump

worded · 2015-11-25 13:43:21

Hi, Any ideas on how to dampen the sound of this water pump. Its under a stairs and is fairly noisy when it switches itself on. Can I cover it completely or does it need to "breath" Best material to use? Thanks

start off by securing a thick rubber mat underneath and see how much difference it makes and you may not need to shield it with insulation.
