I mounted the cyclone before adding the sheathing and drywall. I also have wired for the fluorescent light that you can see on the ceiling. The walls are sound insulate with ROXUL Safe-N-Sound and covered on the inside with lightweight garden fabric to pr

Here are the electrics. I ran an extension from the 110 volt/15 amp overhead light circuit to power a GFCI outlet so I could plug in the remote, and also turn off the remote when the garage lights are off to prevent random starts from the RF remote.

The door is shop-made. It is a sandwich of 3/4 inch birch ply, 1x4 pine, and 1/4 inch lauan on the inside, with ROXUL rock wool filling the void. I had to slice the ROXUL and compress it to fit since it comes in 3.5 inch batts. The door is heavy!

Finished, showing the bin sensor (garage door sensor). I ended up adding drywall to the inside of the closet to protect the roxul insulation. The outside face of the wall (facing the garage framing) is just covered with the garden fabric to attenuate nois

Here it is in its natural habitat. When it is operating most of the noise is from air moving through the ducts. I haven't made decibel readings but it is quiet enough to carry on a conversation with someone next you without shouting.
