That mesh does help...you can even get it at the dollar store...I have it under my embroidery machine and it does cut down the sound. It is also under the Juki, but it is hard to tell...if I'm running it at normal speed, it's fine but at high speed...it's industrial...and the thread cutter does make a kinda loud noise...
