The picture on the left reminds me of my work bench and to not start any more new projects until I finish the old ones.

Do you think the eggcrate foam is the best insulation for the problem?

Best? Probably not. But a good value for the low cost. And it was effective. But just as with generator doghouses, it's a compromise solution between noise abatement and airflow. Any enclosure traps heat. Any enclosure should have enough headspace to allow hot air to rise away from the motor, mine didn't, space-constrained in a 2car garage. Things got a little warmish. If I was going to use air tools extensively I'd leave the door cracked open. But I ran it that way for years and that compressor is still with me in another home, going on 3yrs now. About to use it in a few minutes for airbrushing some Cerakote on some firearm parts. And despite being in a 3-car garage now, I haven't got around to enclosing it. Not using it enough for it to matter. And STILL space-constrained.

The foam I used looked like this -





I also used that foam to quell much of the noise from the HVAC return, by lining the bottom and sides of that cavity with it. Lot of reflected HVAC noise bouncing off the floor slab and out the two large intake grills that were on two sides of the corner where the living room met the bedrooms hallway.
