Default How to quiet a dehumidifier

Of course my daughter is entitled to silence when she's sleeping. That's why
I want to know how to make the dehumidifier quieter. If it's running all day
and then off at night, I'm just wasting energy as the humidity builds up
when the dehumidifier is off.

I live in NJ and in my town bedrooms in the basement are not legal.

I have put a dehumidifier in my basement to take some of the dampness
out

of
the air. The problem is I can only run it during the day because my
daughter's bedroom is in the basement and the dehumidifier is really

noisy.
Does anyone have a creative idea for quietening it down? (It's already
on

a
carpet). Thanks.


To the OP:
Get a heavy duty timer. Shut the thing off during certain hours. Your
daughter's entitled to silence when she's sleeping.
