In my quest for happy neighbours, that are not too happy about my shop vac, I found a link like this for a silencing box:
-----------------------------------------
Check out the "muffler box" at this URL:

-----------------------------------------
The problem is it won´t open for some reason. The thing is, I can keep the shop vac turned off while scrolling as suggested somtimes before, then once in a while do some cleaning with it. Still, I also need to use my handheld electric sander and that really needs the shop vac to be connected and turned on. So all in all, the shop vac may be running for an hour or two a couple of times in the week and my neighbours don´t like it. Now, they are real nice people, and I really don´t want to annoy them. At the same time I don´t have any other place to do my tinkering than my "home shop" (that´s my kitchen), so I need to do something about the noise. That´s why I did some searching on the net, but the only silencing chamber for DIY guys I could find was this link...and it won´t open for me.
Any other links with "muffler enclosures" you´ve run into with projects that look like they might work? I´d be happy for any links and good advice. This noise problem is a tricky one.
