I was hoping there was some sort of sound absorbing material that could be
placed near the unit, not encapsulating it, to
help reduce the noise.

You could put it in a box lined with acoustical tiles but you'd have to
provide for air supply and heat dissapation with vents or fan.

You could set up posts and drape material around and over them, leaving gaps
at top and bottom.

You could put it in another room and close the room to that room and the
door to the room where you are.

put a extension air line on the unit, put it in another room, where the noise wouldnt cause issues
