If it doesn't have one already, look at installing a compressor blanket. This reduces compressor noise significantly. High end models generally have these already, but you can buy purpose built blankets for something like $70.

No, wrapping a compressor in a blanket doesn't make it overheat. Compressors are cooled by the refrigerant running through them, not through heat lost through the casing.
