Does anyone have a suggestion or an idea for sound proofing outdoor HVAC equipment? Currently we have approx. 25 tons of equipment placed inside of a wooden fence enclosure with a wooden trellis on top. Our idea is to line the fence with some sort of sound absorbing material but we are having trouble finding one that works for exterior applications. While these units are not putting out a tremendous amount of noise the idea is to get it low enough that people passing them on the sidewalk, which the sit directly next to, do not notice a change above the ambient sound of the street.
Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hoek266,
First check the manual about space requirements for your unit. These machines have to breath or else you will get failures. With that said, some lattace and shrubs are probably going to be your best bet if they are right on the sidewalk. If you have the proper amount of clearance a wooden privacy fence will do a pretty good job. You could even line the inside with some blue foam board if it needs it.
Hope this helps some.
