My sump pump stick about 3 inches over my sump pit. I would like to
cover it with some heavy material so it muffles the sound and provides

of tarp and glue some of that egg shell foam sound proofing material
on top. It doesn't need to be pretty. Any other ideas that might be
more effective?


Maybe you can build a wood box and line in with Stone Wool insulation
and then place the box over the sump pit?? That's my idea.



Check the date: This was posted in Jan of 2008. By now, the OP is
probably deaf, or else they moved because of that noisy pump.
