    Vibrations don’t just vanish when they hit solid concrete.

    Your entire wall will vibrate, which will distribute the sound through the house and make the machine seem much louder than it normally is. Potentially, this might eventually result in cracks in the concrete wall: concrete is very strong in compression, but has low tensile strength, low ability to resist pulling forces … and every vibration is a quick succession of compression and tension.
