Well you'd be wrong Mate. "Shock" mounting ('rubber' dampening feet) are used extensively throughout Mine-Hunter class warships... which were my last class of ships I served on.
Now, yes, when you're working around sea-mines and the explosions (shock waves) that can occur, shock mounting can help the ship's equipment/plants/engines survive not being ripped from their mountings. But it works the other way too, in that you reduce the vibrations and noise produced by the equipment/plants/engines that would otherwise reverberate through the hull & structure of the ship.
Trust me on this. Dampening the compressor's vibration via 'vibration isolators' will work wonders. Vibrations resonate at a frequency.
