I'm tired of buying Motrin, so I built a DIY compressor muffler/silencer.
Iphone decibel app shows 98db stock and 90db with the muffler, plus I get filtered air entering the system.
Cost $23.50 (2 Bottles of Motrin)
Lowes: 1 gal empty paint can, 3/4" PVC connectors, 3/4" hose
Fabric store: loose polyster pillow fill $3.50
I packed the fill relatively light about pillow density. No decernable restriction when I breath through the system.
Holes at the bottom of the can provide the air input.
