my heat pump sounds like a jet engine, any quieter fixes?
Discussion options
Just learned that sometimes heat pumps get noisy because of vibrations traveling through walls or floors. Someone mentioned rubber isolation pads under the unit can help a lot...anyone tried this or got other tricks to quiet things down?

"Someone mentioned rubber isolation pads under the unit can help a lot..."
Yeah, those pads can definitely help. Had a similar issue at my place - heat pump was vibrating through the floor joists and driving me nuts. I put some thick rubber isolation pads underneath, and it cut down the noise quite a bit. Didn't completely silence it, but made it way more tolerable. Also, double-check if the mounting bolts are overtightened...loosening them slightly can sometimes reduce vibration transfer too.
