A reduced noise pneumatic compression garment includes a flexible member having a bladder that can conform to a limb of the human body. A port in fluid communication with the bladder has an air flow path through which pressurized air is delivered to the bladder to inflate the bladder. A porous insert is located within the flow path of the port between the air inlet and the air outlet for reducing noise from air flow through the port into the inflatable chamber. A method of quietly inflating a pneumatic compression garment is also disclosed.
