Oil Burner Noise

We live in a levit home so we have no basement. Our oil burner is located on the 1st floor its behind a sort of flimsy sliding door. Is there anyway to reduce the noise? its very loud and comes on ofter do to the heat being on...is there a sound reducer thing-a-ma-jig...or do you think if we put a heavier door it will reduce the sound.

Any input would be appreciated...Thanks!

Re: Oil Burner Noise

The only thing you can do is to sound insulate the room but its probably not worth it. I am not in a levitt house but basically the same and ours in in the kitchen in the closet. I am used to it by now and barely hear it

is the door made of real wood or is it made of masonite which is hallow? a solid door would absorb more sound.
