Illus_Fixed_It

The air handler in the main room has had a rattling panel forever. Building support has been out and installed vibration insulating layers between the unit and the mount, but this morning it was just a horrible racket.

 

if you press on it in a certain spot, the vibration noise stops. So I took two shipping tubes placed end-to end to apply vertical pressure, and placed a collar of slightly large shipping tubing to support the shear forces at the joint using alligator clamps.

 

Viola! Silence.
