    I am a Goldsmith and not an Electrical Engineer so this is a thought
    not a fact but I would think that an Ultrasonic having an Electrical
    motor or Heater should be well vented to allow the element to stay
    cool. 

    If you were to place the Ultrasonic in a box and surround it with
    the material you suggest, the machine may overheat.  On a day when I
    have used my machine for long extended periods, I have had to turn it
    off for a while to allow it to cool down. 

    What I do to keep the noise down is to place the machine on a towel
    or rubber mat. I then fill the tank up with plain water.  I place a
    rack in the machine and then I take a small plastic container such as
    a round butter tub and fill it with my cleaning solution ( I use Mr.
    Clean and water) and place this tub on the rack.  I use small brass S
    shaped hooks to hank pieces in the tub.  This doesn't eliminate all
    the noise but it does cut down on quite a bit of it. It also makes
    clean up a breeze.
