contents We study the bosonic VOA associated with the 3D $\mathcal{N}=4$ abelian linear quiver gauge theories arising from compactifying 4D $\mathcal{N}=2$ Argyres-Douglas theories of $(A_1,A_{2n-1})$ and $(A_1,D_{2n})$ types. These VOAs are obtained by cancelling the gauge anomaly of the H-twisted 3D theory on the half-space by Heisenberg algebras on the boundary. We particularly conjecture a complete set of strong generators of these bosonic VOAs, which contains more than the Virasoro stress tensor and those arising from Higgs branch operators. We also find that these bosonic VOAs contain copies of the $W_3$ vertex algebra at $c=-2$ as sub vertex algebras.
