I have a wet-dry canister vacuum that was way too loud.  I built a sound
deadening box for it , and now I use it without ear protectors.  About 40$
material , incl. : plywood (or other like material) , a way to cut it , foam
rubber , swivel casters (optional) , I used 4 window turn locks for the
removable top (you'll need to remove the top easily) , about 24+ ft. 1x1 in.
furring strips , wood glue , screws or nails , either staple gun or glue in
the foam rubber.  Also got an extra hose and attachment kit that allows 20
ft. radius before moving vac. (optional).  Have run it 30 plus minutes over
100 times and no overheating.  I always clean washable filter after a 30
minute marathon or doing my wood shop.  Ended up with a 17 x 19 x 21.5in.
box.  Now it's runs more quietly than my dustbuster.

Figure out how to add a silencer to wet/dry vacs, patent it and get
rich!$ These machines are way too loud.  I have 2 of them.
Just curious:  why not just wear some cheap ear protection? (not that
I remember to do that when I'm operating the machines).

Have you found any list that identifies which material absorbs what
frequency?  There will be a peak frequency for maximum absorption,
then it will trail off in both directions.  Its key to know what the
exact absorption rate is at each frequency for different materials.  
Then you can layer them for optimum performance
