One embodiment of the present invention relates to a noise containment and vibration isolation system for integrated audio/video electrical components. The system includes a housing, an inlet, an outlet, an electrical component board, a noise containment system, and a mechanical isolation system. The noise containment system includes encasement of the electrical component board and baffling of the inlet and outlet air vents. Noise containment obstructs direct ambient air flow paths within the housing, thereby also impeding and obstructing the transmission path of air-based sound waves. The mechanical isolation system includes positioning dampening members between the housing and the electrical component board. The mechanical isolation system further includes positioning a dampening member between the housing and a supporting surface. Mechanical isolation minimizes the transmission of vibration-based sound waves between mechanical coupling points. The combined use of noise containment and component isolation significantly reduces noise transmission of the system, thereby increasing sensitive audio and/or video functionality of the electrical component board.
