The mfg. in this case is unknown. They are surplus and the supplier has little info on them.

Mufflers are made for the intake and exhaust as well, which allows you to run them inside without the noise annoyance.

Some will, some won't. Depends on the mfg., design of the blower and HP/torque rating of the motor.

...or simply leaving your ribbon burner open all the time if you are only running one small set of burners. Running more than one set at the same time may not require any bleed-off.

A more elaborate but more effective method is to completely enclose the blower and install a couple of muffin fans in one of the enclosure walls. Install them so one fan blows in to the enclosure and the other out, so you will get forced positive air flow. (The total enclosure also prevents your neighbors dog from lifting his leg on your blower). You can also position the fan that blows in to blow directly on the blower to keep it cooler in hot weather. Wire the fans to come on and go off with the blower.

The noise comes from the turbine blade spinning at 3450 RPM. The noise emanates from the intake and exhaust ports through reversion. I am unclear how it could come from the top of the motor unless there is a faulty capacitor on the motor.
