WhiteRhino Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 is it the noise from blowing or motor/vibration noize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elektroski Justovski Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 It can work for you for cheap money, just make a box, all 4 walls and bottom, mount somehow your's fan, fill with wool and cover the top and screw it nice. Use Plywood, more mm then better. In store they can cut it for you nice, also make a round holes for fan in and out connection. Make it simple, hope it give you some direction to follow.

WhiteRhino Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 i wouldnt do that if u example suck hot air from cooltubes through it .. my fan gets pretty how i dont think it last long if i put it in an insulated box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elektroski Justovski Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 It can handle max 60c temperature, and it got over 53 db(a) noise. He can measure fan temp, and if is not hot this can work. Also extraction duct can be silenced similar, around is many ready set up's like 1m long, also longer better - more db(a) are down. Best, imho - a combo of this two.

breenzer Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 there is no cool tubes. carbon filter, RVK then the ducting goes to the window,about 1.5m of ducting.no vibration only noise from the motor/air blowing.the room is in a very quite part of town in a block of flats and its very quite there. i could get a pic loaded up tonight if that'll help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dfwi Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 An old trick is rap fan in old sleeping bag or some cheap bed foam, also elektro's box will also work, either way will quieten it down a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syn Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hey there Breenzer ,,I had the same problem myslef ,,This is what I had to do to kill my sound !I to have a very short reach of duct before the exit point ,,Needed the silencer to slow the air down from the extractor and reduce the noise ,,For a while it sounded like a jet was landing in the front garden !But no more !Jah Heights Syn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breenzer Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 this is a flexible silencer, it made the noise 50% less but i think i will also put a box around the fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syn Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Every little helps !Won't hurt to box the extractor,,I dont see temperature being an issue if you doIt looks good though ,,Peace ,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest superbluehaze Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I wrapped mine in blankets and you can be in the room and not know if it is one or not - the box is also another good idea.See my post. "MY Grow Room" that post has pictures and you will be able to see what I mean.happy growing,john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest superbluehaze Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 also my friend use insulated ducting - it cuts the noise of the air rushing through the ducting right down.happy growing,john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420Alice Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Get a bigger fan,more m3/hour with a dimmer and make it run slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest delicious Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 some simple aerodynamic for silence....hope helps sucking the air inside ... well if the corners are aerodinamicly shaped like red fan the air slide inside from shaped corners because there ?s no resistance for a?r ....but at 1 p?tcure the unsh?ped corners make back sirculation ...and when countuinig income air hits the s?rculated air (red ) it makes no?se ...well its the prenc?ple...

RIX Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 You can get a inline silencer for quite cheap or use a car back box (they look very similar and id imagine do the same thing).I use a 6" inline silence,goes like this 10" carbon filter,10"rpk,6" reducer,1metre ducting,6"silence and then the rest of the ducting.
