Hi ya'll!!

This post may be a little strange, but I'll ask anyway. We're getting ready
to put a used Electrovert H-500 out on our floor. We currently have a old
Hollis Poly-clean. When you look at the blowers on a Poly-Clean compared to
the blowers on the H-500, the H-500's blowers look about twice as big...and
the Hollis is kinda' loud...but people don't complain too much when it's
running...I don't know about the H-500 though.

The sound suppresion foam on the inside of the H-500 needs replacing, it's
deteriorated quite a bit. But there's a person here that is suggesting that
instead of replacing the foam, look into "white noise" generators. This
person says that when they were in a machine shop environment, "white noise
generators" were amazing as far as lowering the decible level of the machines.

I have to plead ignorance on this subject. Do any of you have any knowledge
about this? Or have any first hand experience with "white noise generators"?

Myself, I think we should just replace the sound suppression foam, but this
person swears that "white noise generators" is the way to go (but they can't
tell me where I can find this stuff)...if that is true, where do I go to get
these generators (speakers and certain frequency sources I assume)? Is there
such equipment? I've searched the web, but can't find anybody that sells this
stuff (makes me more confidant that I should just replace the sound
suppresion foam).

Is this just a bunch of gobble-dee-gook or what?
