Hi,
I recently had installed a combination boiler installed in an unfinished basement and the noise is very noticeable especially a high pitched noise the floor above. I already put rockwool safe and sound in the ceiling. I notice the majority of the noise is from the fan it seems like a vacuum noise where to cold air intake is. Would it be safe to wrap the pipe in insulation or pipe wrap to try to reduce noise? More directly if like to apply butyl sound deadening to the face of the metal combination boiler. I tried contacting the manufacturer if there were any or possibly warranty being voided but by phone first hung up on then endless ringing. Emailed them and no answer. Checked the temperature with a Flir and it was 35 degrees C on the hot air exhaust. The face of the boilers shell doesn't get that hot and we'll below the butyl sound deadening temperature limits. I applied it once to a noisy power vent unit and it worked beautifully.
Any feedback is appreciated.
