Super loud flywheels

As a noob to modding nerf (but not a noob when it comes to electronics), how can I try to quiet down the flywheels a bit?
I mean I know I will never have a silent gun and that's not what I want, but they really roar I can't even talk over them when they are spinning.
I have searched around a bit and can't really find any one with a similar issue to mine.
Any insight would be great!

I've never had any issues with my monster flywheel builds, I mean of course they're loud but what do we expect pushing a system to it's limits like we are?
You also might look into electronic braking. I've seen a few builds that utilize this, although it won't make your blaster any quieter it will drastically reduce the wind down time of the flywheels. This will shorten the amount of time they are spinning after you break the circuit and thus shorten the amount of time they are making noise. Doesn't help much, but I've always felt trying to sound dampen a flywheel system to be futile.
Good luck.

I actually have a can of liquid sound deadener waiting for me to finish the WIP Demolisher. I shall be conducting before and after noise testing, and will be posting the results.
I'll have to be on the lookout for that as I had been toying with the idea myself. I have some foam seat cushions you can buy from walmart in the craft department I was planing on using to make a hitman-esque rifle in a brief case, might use the scraps to see how well that works as well. I believe it is polyurethane but I can not say for sure.
EDIT: stuff was pretty cheap too if I remember correctly

Typically, yes, that type of foam is polyurethane.

i am having a lot of fun with modding this thing, so much so in fact, that i bought a second gun to play around with, just a boom co whipblast because it was supper cheap and on clearance. I removed its peg and added a better seal on the plunger, as well as tightening the gap between the cylinder and the barrel. Overall i am pretty happy with that smaller project and plan to give it a Borderlands 2 hyperion paint job.
