Get a cardboard box about 3ft x 3ft. Go to k-mart, walmart or target and buy a "convoluted" foam mattress pad. You know, the kind with the bumps? See link:http://www.carepathways.com/estore.cfm?Cat=Bed%20Accessories&Brief=Foam%20Mattress%20Pad It is very important that th foam pad is "convoluted" as the uneven surface breaks up sound waves.
Next, cut the mattress pad into appropriately sized pieces and tape them to the inside the box with some double-sided tape. The rest is pretty self explanatory.

Thanks so much. I will try this when my Tumbler gets here. I also talked to my boss and he said it would be ok to take the tumbler down to work with me and run it there in the back room.
Thanks for the info

Tumblers run hot, make sure the toasty bits aren't touching the mattress bits, unless you're heavily insured. They're a pain to run indoors, somebody always complains about the noise, but I've always been a little worried about covering them up, you trap the heat along with the sound. Probably no big deal if you use a big box. If you've got a spare closet, stick it in there and soundproof the door.

Thanks so much for the info on keeping it cool. I think I am going to bring it to work and put it in the back room. After all I spend more time at work then I do at home.
Thanks to all
