On a fairly new a/c installation (1 year) there is a vibration and sound that is transfering from the a/c compressor to about the first 12 feet of copper line set.
Is there a way to limit this sound without re-working the whole line set and having to recharge the system? The suction line is insulated and the contractor mortered the opening where lineset passes through the masonry foundation wall.
Thank you.

You may want to throw this one "over the wall" to the Acoustics and Vibrations forum (forum384). There are plenty of ways to isolate and remove the vibration / noise from the simple to the complex, but forum384 probably has a pretty good opinion about how to handle it.
