A cup-like device, called a deturbulator, having a solid base portion and vertically oriented finger-like elements extending therefrom is disposed in the oil sump of a refrigeration compressor so that the base portion is spaced from the bottom of the oil sump. The compressor has a mechanical stirrer which is driven through the sump oil when the compressor is in operation to purposefully agitate the oil in order to create a sound attenuating blanket of foam within the compressor shell. The stirrer is disposed interior of the deturbulator so that the turbulence created by the stirrer in the oil agitation process is localized and contained within the interior of the deturbulator. The bottom of the oil sump, wherein debris normally collects, is therefore shielded from turbulence which would otherwise tend to stir the debris into the oil. The finger-like elements of the deturbulator both act to break up any wave action in the sump oil and to facilitate the production of foam to quiet the compressor.
