Abstract
An environmental control unit, such as an HVAC or heat pump unit, includes an insert disposed within the device housing that provides noise attenuation features. The insert defines air flow paths within the housing. The insert may be formed of a foam material and may include multiple foam blocks that cooperate to form a serpentine passageway therein. The passageway includes multiple turns. The features further include perforated sheet metal panels disposed in the passageway at strategic locations. The perforations are shaped and dimensioned to correspond to the frequencies to be attenuated.
