I bought the 9 gallon Ridgid wet/dry vac from The Home Depot yesterday. Under $60 with tax. I thought what the heck why not add in a noise muffler accessory for ~ $10.
It is pictured here,
Product number = VT2525
It surprisingly works, to an extent. The motor is still audible, but the exaust is muffled almost non existant.
To install/remove the muffler, just stick it into the blower section of the vac.
I turned on the vac and it was quite loud (need ear protection for extended periods of usage) but once I plugged in the muffler, the sound dropped to just the motor running and a medium whirrrr tone.
It does not reduce the sound much, but for $10 and $2 on ear plugs, I'll try to get everything little sound quitier I can (I miss place the ear plugs most of the time.)
The muffler looks like an elbow of the hard plastic want attached to a 2 1/2 - 3 inch wide cylinder with a baffel (sp) then a smaller exaust tip. Tunes down the sound of the whirrrring exaust to a noticable degree.
Better pictures to come. Now only if I can get my microphone to work at home (away right now.)
