DIY Baffle Box - Make Small Kitchen Appliance Quiet!

Noisy small kitchen appliances can be a morning struggle when people are sleeping. To not want them up, here's a DIY quiet box for any small noisy kitchen appliances. I'll have a before and after with a decimal meter to prove how quiet your kitchen can become.
A noisy coffee grinder and a noisy blender was no match for this small compact dIY baffle box!

When the boys need a 4am smoothie

Quick correction for you to note: 3dB drop is 50% reduction in energy but it takes a 10dB drop for the apparent perceived loudness to decrease by 50%. Otherwise, good video and quick project.

Great video. What I did: on the counter I put a silicone hot pad,a folded towel on top of that, and a cutting board on top of that as the base for the blender (kills vibration to countertop).Then I used two insulated grocery shopping bags (about 10 bucks for two on Amazon) which I doubled-up by putting one inside the other. Then I put this double bag liner inside a cardboard box, and turned the bag-lined box upside- down over my Ninja bullet blender. Works great, and no apartment noise violations for early morning smoothies.

Great video and exactly what I was looking for. Subscribed. I just bought a high-end vacuum blender with a motor as powerful as a lawn mower and it's so noisy that must wait until everyone in the house is awake before I can have breakfast. I knew I had to build some kind of foldable sound dampening box for the thing but wondered about materials. Will get started right away. Thanks!

[@soundproofguide]

Thank You!!! :)

[@davidgraemesmith1980]

Pretty cool reusing cardboard boxes to do that, I used a corrugated plastic archive box and lined it with the 20mm yoga mat an ex girlfriend left behind 🤣 dropped the noise of a blender a lot, barely knew it was operating 5-10 feet away but before you could hear it a couple doors away 😲

[@soundproofguide]

Haha that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@mbeck2113]

Thank you for the video. It amaze me how different people think of the same ideas. I made a box like that specifically for the coffee grinder using cardboard box and carpet padding after fiddling with different options I found the most effective way to reduce the decibel was a large towel folded and wrapped around the machine.

[@2TallTremaine]

I did something similar using corrugated plastic to make a hexagon around a super sized nutribullet rx that is the loudest (and most powerful) blender I've ever heard. Because the nutribullet doesn't have buttons, it's just barely bigger than the blender and stays on it all the time with a removable lid which works well for that style of blender. I do like your approach as it isolates the base from the counter - granite counter with suction feet on and a heavy blender still vibrates the counter enough to make some noise. I think the car insulation would do a great job dampening that and I might have to make an addition to mine! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@jordanviray]

That was a good amount of noise reduction! I wonder how it compares to commercially available enclosures which seem to be mostly acrylic and very pricey. My intuition is that your car mat and foam box would be better.

[@soundproofguide]

Yes, and my box is much less expensive. If you follow my links, you’ll see how cheaply you can build one of these. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

[@AGC828]

It's actually not that difficult but must just don't bother to make the effort... Having said that I'm surprised Vitamix hasn't made an enclosure accessory...

[@Wookiemonsterfreak]

I have a fabric cover, like that of a oven mitt for a tea pot. I then wrap the grinder with a terry cloth towel and put the tea pot warmer over top of the wrap, then grind away. I am searching today to see what others have done. I find automotive acoustic sound barriers a bit pricey though, I must say, yet I am in Canada in a remote area.

[@jonmichael8595]

I was just thinking to build like this one the whole week. I have the same ninja blender and it’s too noisy.

[@soundproofguide]

Try it out and let me know how it works for you! 😊

[@matthewclosson6178]

If I use a 20x20x20” box will the supplies dimensions in the Amazon link be enough?

[@Tadders]

Nice man! Great idea. Would like to see this except in a less flimsy setup. Not saying it's bad, I'm saying with a bit more refinement it would actually be something marketable, you know?.

[@soundproofguide]

Thanks for the feedback! I agree about making one that could potentially sell but someone already tried something like this and it was a failure. I tried to get his product for the video without success.

[@K03sport]

the (dynamat) sound deadener is not necessary (in theory as you are using it). The box is not technically not vibrating/resonating. Closed cell foam (the blue squares) and mass loaded vinyl are better noise blockers. If you put the sounder deadener on the body of each device, that could reduce the resonance/vibration noise plus using your box cover. You can also try the white insulation foam (Styrofoam) from a home improvement store or the (dense) green project foam. Also chopped denim mat is also good at reducing/blocking noise. Have you tried a thick shower/beach towel??

Foam lined 5 gallon bucket

[@kiamartin3704]

This perfect I really want a blender cause I spend so much on smoothies I can just make at home but… I’m a student in a apartment

[@ParaParagon]

there is a few blender models that you can buy with an additional silent hood - they're usually quite large so you need to measure whether you have space in your student appartment

[@ineedhelpsoundproofing]

I wish my fridge would stop making that loud hum. It's the initial click that's the worst

[@nicolewhitley3640]

Microwave

[@ankundasarahritah]

My Blender makes alot of noise and leaks it pours juice down every time i don't know where the problem is

[@cruz111]

The rubber inside the base or maybe you forgot to put it back. I did it one time and this happened.

[@maloyaircraft1174]

Need one for a garage air compressor!

[@indeed7135]

Genius ❤

[@waffleb4667]

[@YukonHawk1]

[@stefanosstamatiadis740]

[@ML-ov7wo]
