Put a car muffler on the input to the compressor. I use a oil bath air cleaner for the intake on my compressor. It helps quiet the shrill intake whistle and I figur ethe oi lis good for the valves.
All but the air cleaner require ear protection regardless of environment. They are just too loud and will damage hearing if you are within 50-100 feet. when they are running in the same building.
Be careful with any acoustic foam or fabric. Many of the home made ones are fire death traps that will void insurance if there is a fire. Fire proof materials cost more. Dust coated fire proof stuff will burn or at least the dust will.
