Soundproofing a pool pump or a pool filter is one of the most common problems we face in the soundproofing business. If the Pool pump is outdoors and is not in a pool equipment room, then the best way to soundproof the pump or loud filter is to construct a fence ttype enclosue around the pool equipment. This enclosure would be made of wood and would be very similar to a redwood o cedar type fence. It would be best to build the fence to at least the 8' level.
