Mine is suspended from the rafters and is very quiet.

May furnace is over 20 years old and I would like to replace it. It is
located in the attic of my single story house. Because the old furnace
sits on the floor joists, a lot of noise and vibration penetrates into the
living areas below.

I keep the fan lubricated and have put rubber-matting underneath the
furnace, but it is still noisy.

Is it approved practice to suspend the furnace from the rafters rather
than having it sit on the joists?
This would probably avoid most noise and vibration.

Thanks for any input
