    Dos noise reduction solution

    Hello all! I recently set my Dos system to do water changes during the week. However when I have been home to observe, the unit noise is pretty loud. I know the faster the motors run, the louder the hum. I have been brainstorming some ideas to help reduce the noise.

    Anyone see a problem with wrapping or enclosing the unit in a sound dampening foam/batting? Would overheating be an issue?

    Some of the noise can be the unit vibrating against the wall or surface the DOS is mounted to. I placed a thin layer of foam rubber between the back of my DOS and the wall when I mounted it and that helped a little.
