Did you visit the two links in my post? The ideas there are kind of an advanced version of your drawing. I'll look for this Homasote stuff but somehow I doubt my success
Jemswillam:
Most of compressor's noise comes from its intake. Put a muffler (resonant expansion chamber type works best according to my experiments) there and you'll have 70% or so reduction in noise or at least make it much less annoying.
Conrad Hoffman:
While I agree that serious equipment is always better, it's not an option because o a) price b) availability.
chris661:
Doing efficient thermal contact between the compressor and some huge heatsink and having them actually decoupled mechanically is difficult to say the least. Besides, i can't have the box closed completely because the compressor needs air from outside while operational.
Water cooling sounds interesting but waaay too dangerous to diy. We're talking about mains and high pressure here.

Exactly what I was thinking. The thing is that these wheels go for 25$+ a peace here. In process of finding cheaper alternatives.
Back on topic, my original question was how to estimate the number of bends and in inlet/outlet muffling labyrinths? Does anyone have any experience with such mufflers?
