Sound proof enclosure and/or building. Most of our blowers are in separate blower rooms and require double hearing protection to enter.
Not sure on alternatives.

RE: Roots Blower Noise
Is it louder than it is rated?
Are you sure that the piping is correct? (delta P, flow restrictions and so on)

As I know, there is limited Blower as named Ring Blower, Roots Blower
Anybody can compare capacity and Noise for each other.

It is a bit late after the install but you can try a sound absorbing enclosure.
Do you have an intake and exhaust silencer.(Like a muffler on a motor vehicle)
Do you have a flexible preferably rubber section in the discharge pipe work not long after the blower discharge.
Are you running it within its rated speed and pressure range.
If it is an option you can try replacing it with a trilobe blower if the one you have now is only a bilobe.
Depending on its size you may be able to use a vacuum ring type blower to replace it.
