    You may laugh but---The first time I installed my compressor, I lagged it to the concrete garage floor, and it made everything in the garage vibrate, and was terribly noisy from "resonance". I researched a bunch of different "anti-vibration" mounts, and they were all painfully expensive. I had a bunch of old chev small block mounts around---(they have an insulating neoprene bonded to them to keep engine vibration away from the car chassis), so I lagged one part to the concrete floor and bolted the other part to each foot of the compressor. Many, many, times quieter, and no vibration at all afterwards. (Take a look at the rust and then tell me its not humid in central Ontario.)
