After talking apart my melted fein to see how they reduce the noise it is pretty amazing to knock down a 100db motor to about 65db's with just a little foam and a plastic shell.
so the foam they use is a open cell foam a little stiffer then standard foam is. I can knock down about 6dbs by putting regular foam into the air inlet. another db wrapping the fein foam around the motor like it is done on the fein.
so any idea what foam to use? I have to order it so I need an idea what to buy.
I have made a wooden enclosure for two of the fein type motors for my vac table.
