I have a pool pump outside of the house, sitting on a concrete block which
is on top of a concrete pad. During the day when the pump is on, I can hear
it in the room which is on the other side of the exterior wall.

What is the best way to cut down of the noise?


If I cut two slices of styrofoam and put one on top and one on bottom of the
concrete block will it reduce the noise significantly?


Or do I need to take some drastic measure to build some sort of an enclosure
for the pump?


Thanks,

I would also put a cover over that pump unless it is rainproof.


Pool pumps are designed to sit out in the weather.
