Hi
I have an electrical meter box that backs onto a bedroom gyprock wall, and we are getting quite a lot of wind noise through that wall . the house is weatherboard and the meter box is metal with a hinged fuse and meter board.
What I was wondering is what action I can take on the meter housing, particularly behind the board to reduce noise - eg car firewall insulation, lead sheet?, etc. Although I expected that i cant use sealeants or expanding foam for heat reasons - it struck me that heat isnt likely considered such a big problem given the wires are all packed together into about a 10cm diameter bunch and held together with zip ties.
