There's this old compressor that's been sitting around for like ten years, and it still works I guess, but it hums so loud I can't sleep at night. Is there any way to secure it better, or is it time to replace it with a new one? Maybe there's a quieter option out there?
After ten years, the compressor clearly isn't balanced perfectly anymore, so first try putting some rubber pads or a dampening mat under it - that often cuts down vibration and noise pretty noticeably! But if it's still humming away like a tractor, honestly, it's just easier to buy a new quiet compressor than to struggle with an old unit. Modern models are way quieter, plus that ten-year-old thing could break down whenever, and a new one means reliability and actual peace at night!
