how to quiet down my grinding noises? way too loud

[1971ford]

so ive been stripping my whole underbody/chassis ofmy 69 and it has been really loud, but nothing like this.

we tilted the cab back on the frame so i could strip the bottom to metal but it is sooo incredibly loud its insane. its because im grinding on thinner metal and its vibrating like crazy i guess.



smackdab in the city too, so i know my neighbors dont enjoy the noise either



i had to stop because of the loudness. my dad suggested to throw in a bunch of mats (we get toooons of mats for free from my dad's work). i can see this helping, not sure if it will be enough. he didnt want me grinding any more today so i couldnt test it.

any ideas

I think the mats will help some. But it will be loud no matter what you do. Just put a real loud radio out there just kiding. If the neighbors right next door to ya are the ones you are worried about tell them in advance what you will be doing and offer to send them to a movie on you so the noise wont bother them. Then I would have a friend or your dad help you so it gets done twice as fast.

they havent complained, and there very nice peoples. i just dont want to make their weekend misserable. good idea on the movies. if they complain ill do that. too bad no one will help me on the grinding, its such a dirty job though so i dont blame them.
