I’ve been running an Alkatronic for a few months (great product overall) but the noise has increase 2x over time. I opened it up to see if the peristaltic pumps became louder but everything looks okay. They come mounted on a rubber pad to absorb some of the vibration but it’s still extremely loud.
I can hear it through 2 walls/rooms in my apartment and I’m worried the neighbors will complain as it runs in the middle of the night too. The good thing is it sounds like a printer so at least it’s not a strange noise. That said, my printer is much more quiet.
Any ideas on how to insulate some of the noise? I’m thinking go to Home Depot and get some Great Stuff foam. Thinking of saran wrapping the unit, covering it in foam and cutting a cube out of it once dry. Is there a better solution for sound insulation?
