Hey guys. I run a residential building in Philly. It's an old building conversion with some sketchy quality. We have a pump in the basement that is loud AF. We've tried vibtation sleeves, insluation etc but nothing has helped. The units on the first floor all complain that they can hear this pump ramping up and down constantly. We're running out of ideas and I thought I'd hit ya'll up.
Pic 1 is the sketchy set up. My questions are whether the entire ststem needs to be on some type of vibration pads. Also, there are 3 holding tanks. One of them is decomissioned and I wonder if that is amplifying the noise.
Pic 2 - vibration sleeve. Did absolutely nothing.
Pic 3 insulation - did nothing
Pic 4 This pipe is touching the plywood wall. I wonder if that is amplifying the noise through the wall.
Pic 5 is the holding tanks
Pic 6 another vibration sleeve. Did nothing. Also notice that the pipe coming from the holding tanks is sitting on wood framing of the ply wall. Wondering if that is amplifying noise
Pic 7 is this little pad thing the pump is sitting on. I'm thinking this isn't close to enough.
Any ideas would be HUGELY appreciated. Been trying to solve this at great cost for literally years.
