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.

What if they get wet?
Not a problem from what I understand. Mines outside like that.
