Blender cover for sound deadening?

[TridenT]

Anyone know of a good Vitamix blender cover that they've used? I'm considering just making one too. Shouldn't be too hard to buy some materials and glue them together to make a decent cover to keep the sound in. (Maybe I'll make some venting ports too) I don't usually make more than one smoothie at a time but it can take a couple minutes.

Would have to make a little gasket port at the top so the plunger could still be used but still block some sound.

Have you tried placing it behind a space heater?

A cardboard box. If you're worried about ventilation, get a bigger one.

Pros: it's free, it has other uses.
Cons: it looks like a cardboard box.

Yeah, I saw that... That's why I am considering making my own. $200 is fucking expensive.

Wrap the whole thing in Owens Corning fibreglass insulation.

Just don't eat it, as tempting as it may be. It's not cotton candy.

Maybe they will trade for a trash can.

Can't be louder than the Blendtec. That thing drowns out all conversation within 15 feet while it's going off.

Come to think of it, what is with this weird obsession of quietness anyway, space heater relays, now a blender? lol.

Build your own hushbox? Personally I depend on the change in pitch to determine readiness.

Just remove your eardrums. Solved!

He couldn't hear the fruitloop crunch otherwise.

He's a delicate daisy that can't take a minute of noise. Must be afraid of waking up his parents.

I prefer the variety pack.

So that's what Jamba Juice uses.

lol, what a pansy

The sound comes from the loud ass motor that's spinning at 1000's of RPMs. Unless you are crushing rocks inside that thing, no kind of "cover" is going to keep the sound "in". You'd have to literally put the whole thing in a sound proof box to make it quiet.

No wonder you couldn't get a job.

I proposed a perfectly viable solution

Nah, they use Blendtec's gear. The blender with the noise-reduction enclosure is $1,300:

No, I think Jamba Juice uses these: https://www.vitamix.com/Commercial/Products/Beverage-Blenders/The-Quiet-One

You can dampen it or morph it in a way to get it to be quieter. I've seen demos of them being used.
