Air Compressor Sound Dampening

I apologize if this is in the wrong thread, I wasn't really sure where to cram it.

Anyways, I don't know too much about compressors, but I have a little 1/3 hp 3 gallon compressor and I was wondering how bad of an idea it would be to build a small housing for the motor on the compressor that has some sort of sound dampening material in it because the compressor is loud as all hell, my concerns were over heating/air supply, I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions or thoughts. Keep in mind too that this is one that is supposed to be plugged in to the wall so I'm going to have an inverter, I also have the tank separated from the motor for different locations. Thanks.

yea, i think what im going to do tomorrow is just mount it and see what happens. I have a first gen though so no bedside cubby for me :C

 

Isolate it from whatever you're mounting it to with rubber bushings.

And rubber fender washers.

 

I'm talking about the actual motor itself though, not vibrations. I think what im going to do is buy an OBA system and then attach it to my take pressure switch. Thanks everyone though.
