Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has experience reducing boiler noise.
Our listening room is our living room, which is about 20 feet from the boiler room door. The boiler room is small and has a dry wall that separates it from the dining room, which is adjacent to the living room. The boiler room door has vents, which might be a good source of the noise. From my understanding of noise cancellation, mass is important, but I guess we have to be careful with what we surround a boiler, as over-heating or ventilation are important. I'm wondering if putting something with weight on the dining room side of the dry wall might absorb some noise or if I really need to use acoustic plasterboard closer to the boiler.
Any suggestions on how to reduce the noise? Apologies if this has been discussed.
Happy holidays.
Mike
